FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

                             La Muerte

    The images in this section pertain to the Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos, a traditional Mexican Holiday within my cultural heritage. The festival is celebrated on All Soul’s Day and it honors the Dead. This series sometimes mocks death, some images are dark and have meaning, and others are light and fun, but all the while aware that death in folklore is not the same as death in reality.  In this collection I am presenting traditional cultural concepts in a contemporary light. La Muerte is a parallel existence to the living. Growing up I was taught not to fear death, but to accept it as another phase in the cycle of life. These images are my interpretations based on my experiences and inspirations.  This series has grown to be one of the largest, and most easily recognized series of my work.
