**”People I Met in Mexico”**

This photo series was captured in November 2024 during a journey across Mexico. Starting from the Maya Riviera, I traveled through Chiapas and Oaxaca before reaching Mexico City. Mexico’s deep cultural identity isn’t always easy to engage with, but this project offers a glimpse into the lives of the people and landscapes I encountered. From my European perspective, I was struck by the profound connection between the people and their natural surroundings.
