Oaxaca has always been a place of connecting with my family and heritage but also disconnecting because of my American culture. These photographs are from 2017 when I revisited the city of Oaxaca and San Pedro, the town where my family is originally from. It was an experience of reunited with my father, revaluing my indigenous roots, and thinking about my relationship to land and environment as a photographer.
