I am a 36-year-old single woman who has chosen not to have children but often wonders if I should freeze my eggs. I fear that the desire for a biological child might come later, when it could be too late. I appreciate how technology supports our dreams, yet it raises profound questions: What drives the desire for children? What does it mean to create a child today? Reproduction now involves more than just parents—it includes donors, doctors, and geneticists. This shift makes me reflect on how technology shapes reproductive choices.
Terms like in vitro fertilization, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and ROPA method are now part of assisted reproduction for thousands. Concepts that once seemed like science fiction, such as selecting a child’s traits or examining their genome, are now realities of genetic "perfection" in human identity.
Photographer Fabiola Cedillo’s project, HUMANO, explores this evolution and the complex decision to reproduce in a tech-driven world. Her work raises questions about the manufacturing of children, blending technological power with human desire, and examining the loss of genetic unpredictability. Cedillo's research highlights the ethical challenges that modern reproductive technology introduces to society’s diversity and identity.
Photographer and educator from Ecuador. I explore human adaptation and resistance to social roles, capitalism, desire, frustration, and idealization through images. My work addresses destigmatizing bodies, neurodivergence, and marginalized lives. I incorporate speculative news, fiction, performance, and varied visual resources in my work.
I am a member of The Journal Collective, Como Ser Fotografa, FotoFeminas, and WomenPhotograph. I've created NFTs with Photo VOGUE + VOICE and Obscura DAO.
My book, The Worlds of TITA, has won awards and featured in global festivals. Notable awards include the National Geographic COVID-19 Emergency Grant and Portrait of Britain. In 2017, I founded AULA, a photography school focused on programs for ethnic minorities, migrants, and trans/non-binary people.
