A SERIES SHOT DURING A PERSONAL TRIP TO MEXICO, AWAY FROM THE PLATE AND TOWARD EVERYTHING AROUND IT — THE TEXTURES, DETAILS, AND QUIET ARCHITECTURE OF ALFONSINA. LIGHT THROUGH THE DINING ROOM, WORKED SURFACES, HANDMADE OBJECTS, THE RHYTHM OF A SPACE BUILT SLOWLY AND WITH INTENTION.

ALFONSINA COOKS WITH WHAT THE LAND GIVES — CORN, SEASONAL VEGETABLES, MOLE, SEASONAL FISHING — BUILT ON RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOCAL PRODUCERS AND FISHERS, AND RUN WITH REAL CARE FOR ITS FOOTPRINT: RAINWATER COLLECTION, DRY COMPOSTING, ZERO DISPOSABLE PACKAGING. THAT SAME RESTRAINT AND INTENTION IS WHAT I WAS DRAWN TO CAPTURE — NOT THE FOOD, BUT THE FEELING OF THE PLACE THAT HOLDS IT.

LOCATION: SAN JUAN BAUTISTA LA RAYA — OAXACA, MEXICO.
