Moments from Mexico City

A shack, a baby, a bar

This baby curiously peers over the counter but is met with a line of bottles. The colors amongst the bottles, the décor of this humble shack along a highway, and the baby’s clothes litter the image with various colors, yet they are all tied together with an earthy warmth.


Hot Air Balloon at Sunrise

A hot air balloon takes off as dawn breaks over the horizon, the sky unfolding in gradients of gold and rose. The sunrise unites all the clash and contrast of the hot air balloon, as the rays hit everything in sight with their glow.


“Bocadillos” at a Bodega

Packets of little bites (“bocadillos”) hang from the hooks, each their own little decoration packed with color and screaming for attention.


Embrace

In the intimacy of an embrace, the rich colors of the man’s costume, which reflect the vibrant heritage and culture of Mexico, soften into a moment between family.


Blooming

Youth withers away from these angel’s trumpet flowers, their shriveling petals contrasting with the vibrancy of their color. Still, the flowers overpower their backdrop of rich oranges and deep royal blue.


Warmth touches every hue of Mexico City’s streets and skies. The city effortlessly displays vibrancy without harshness, with colors running through every alleyway and corner store evoking its rich heritage without devolving into incoherency. These images are a celebration of everyday life, where the city’s vivid tones and beauty intertwine.
