Muñoz ruminates on the detachment that occurs at the time a photograph is taken. During its recording, the photographer is outside of the moment, removed from experiencing it. With this rationale, she selects images that she did not overthink, because “one becomes too invested in a great photo.” Her image archive, collected over many years, is hinged on how the vagueness of a casual snapshot opens the viewer to more possibilities. “When a perfect photo is so pretty, it gets stuck at pretty.”
