I visited Mexico City in December of 2023 during the festive Christmas holidays. The bustling city was brimming with millions of both residents and visitors. During my explorations, I serendipitously encountered a group of sanitation workers clad in vibrant neon green overalls. This unexpected encounter presented a perfect opportunity to delve deeper into the lives of those who tirelessly uphold the cleanliness of a city with a population of nine million.
I discovered that these dedicated sanitation workers are predominantly volunteers who commit long hours to not only collecting waste but also meticulously sorting it for recycling at various plants.
I've dedicated this portfolio to the sanitation workers of Mexico City.
