Rocío

Rocío is body of work combines landscapes and portraits in a series of photographs that explores the lives of inhabitants residing in rural mountain communities of Northern New Mexico. More closely, it traces the life and work of my grandfather, whose indigenous roots reach back to this region for generations. He has borne witness to the changes in the land —drought, fire, and loss. The work reflects upon the American dream or the vestiges of it, the uncertainty and ferocity of weather, and the endurance in the aftermath of compounding environmental events.
