. These images are a rare view into how car-pooling is practiced by workers in Mexico in order to transport themselves to work everyday. Even though the workers are not conscious of the ecological impact they may have by traveling this way (they are primarily doing it to save time and money) they are a silent contributor to the preservation of our city and planet. These images are also an observation of the overgrowth issues in Mexico where new suburbs are being built further and further away from the urban centres causing greater commutes and consumption of gas. Eventually I hope the work can reflect on many things such as the workers' state of mind while traveling and their working conditions, the need for and lack of proper transportation in Mexican cities, suburban sprawl and these workers' invisibility in a society struggling with a social crisis.
