DÍA DE MUERTOS — CDMX, 2025

Celebration transforms the city into a space where remembrance and joy exist simultaneously. Processions move through the streets, blending tradition, performance, and personal expression—each moment shaped by a deep cultural connection to honoring those who have passed.

This series focuses on gesture, atmosphere, and the rhythm of the city during the celebration. The grain and tonal range reflect both the energy of the streets and the quiet significance underlying each moment—an expression of life through remembrance.
A focus on movement, gesture, and the atmosphere of the streets.

This project includes both 35mm film & digital.
