“Mexico’s culture and colors exhilarate, and the chaos feels so humble. I have always found my inspiration within the beauty of chaos. But one of the most exciting parts of this story was being able to include the people living their lives in Mexico City. Whether it was the man shining shoes on a corner, the trans woman who owns a local erotic boutique, or the dog walkers in the park, it was amazing to have these humans contribute a little bit of themselves to these images.”
