These portraits, adorned with floral symbolism, serve as metaphors for resilience fragile yet enduring. This project documents resilience, vulnerability, and humanity. Through this project, it will shed light on the contributions of these communities while addressing their often-invisible role in society. “Aquí Estoy” es una serie que se enfoca en la fortaleza y vulnerabilidad de las comunidades inmigrantes nativas de Mesoamérica.
