A region in West Central part of Mexico, where crime and violence reigns, discovers a new common threat with Covid-19. The inadequate transformation of a rural cottage to respond to the challenges of Covid-19. Desolation and sadness. A contrast of light and shadow, life and mystery, shelves full of empty hopes and desks without notebooks and pens. Life is only provided by rays of light that penetrate through holes created by time and neglect in the wooden ceilings. A body that seems embalmed and that remains us “so fearful and sad.. my God, the dead are left alone" (Becquer).

Biography

I am preparing a book of photography entitled “Streets of the World and Their People”with short narratives accompanying the photos. I am a social photographer. I like to travel and meet the world with its streets and its people, but the part that responds to my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. These images are a look at someone's world, a journey into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story, but part of a social commitment. I present different stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain connection; a new sense.
