Thousands of people die in drug-related violence every year in México; using processes that are reductive in nature I am exploring what it means to see, live and cope with images of incomprehensible violence. By using metaphors and visual metonymies to tie together process and subject matter I explore the idea of perception, memory and transformation. My work is derived from a need to find meaning in these brutal events that repositions the corpse in our field of vision, reminding us that our physical existence is finite.
