"The Witch"

Year and Place: 2023, Mexico.

Brief: I met her during a tactical work field in a small town in southern Mexico. In those days, I worked as a geologist at a Mexican government agency, searching for missing people. My work in that operation was to design the quadrants for each team. I was driving the boundary perimeter, where the streets were dusty and lonely, suddenly I turned my gaze to one particular house, due to its different aspect from the others, something like an colonial arquitectures but abandonded, so, I decided to stop to explore inside it (I know, wasn't a good idea, but is what it was). A massive patio was between the debris door and a tinny house at the opposite side, then she appeared, crossing from the trees at the end of the yard. The witch allowed me to take these pictures of her. I remember her smiling, between shadows, wise, with a bouquet of secrets in her hand.
