El Muro
The wall is an architectural element loaded with metaphorical implications. I made this photo during a trip to Mexico as sentiments about migration and border security divide the country. Yet the wall, no matter how high or solid, is no match to the human spirit.

Artist's Statement
As a street photographer, I see beauty in the mundane and in the unexpected. The camera opens my eyes to the power of photography: making photographs connects me to people and to the world around me. My goal as a photographer is to share stories of the human condition to a larger audience
