    Post Meridiem/Post Mortem | 2014

A series of Juarez, Mexico newspapers, one of the most violent cities in the world, manually manipulated with gum eraser, where the daily narco-cadavers that appear in brutal ways have been erased to address the issues of hiperrealistic images in the contemporary media. In addition, the residues of the gum eraser are shown as part of the work, as a metaphor of Ashes, rescuing the dignity of the body and through aesthetics, achieve the collective mourn of a society crossed by the narcoviolence.
