No Way Back

No Way Back is a photo essay that encourages a reflection around life on the pre-Hispanic settlers from the Mogollon culture that was developed in harmony with nature in the north of the Sierra Madre Occidental de Chihuahua, Mexico. It intends to invite us to analyze what we have been as a civilization and what we have left aside to make our way on resource-consuming cities. The pandemic allowed me to travel through my photographic archive to rediscover archaeological findings from my Chihuahuan ancestors to embrace the desire of an afternoon under the natural waterfall or inside the ruins of an ancient construction in the rocks made of mud. Now time seems to be stopped and the way back seems uncertain or non-existent. These archaeological sites have been closed due to Covid-19 as many places. Furthermore, these findings are closed to Ciudad Madera where according to press reports is constantly under violence and in organized crime control, therefore, is important to seek the current status of these places that add up to around 180 archaeological sites. This is a sensorial stimulation journey to the majesty of nature in coexistence with the vestiges of human beings from the past.
