Untitled 6, from the series Donde Andaba
The images in Donde Andaba juxtapose wild plant life and urban architecture to explore the perseverance of life despite its ambient conditions. For it, I used a 6x7 camera and photographed the vegetation that emerged from the cracks in the sidewalks or from between the bricks on the walls of buildings in my neighborhood. I made the work in 2005 after living in Mexico City for three years and was inspired by my observations of Mexican culture, in particular its tenacious spirit.
