Statement:
During a wedding calenda in Oaxaca, a giant papier-mâché mono representing the bride moves through the streets. Hidden inside the towering figure, a young carrier advances step by step, glimpsed only through a small opening—a quiet reminder of the human effort behind tradition and of how community brings celebration to life.
