These images are part of the project Ancestral Trees of Veracruz, which I made with the support of the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte (2020-2022). The photos I present here are intended to awaken the admiration I feel for trees. Although there is an increasing awareness of the serious ecological problems of our time, like the immoderate destruction of forests and jungles, it has not been enough to stop their advance, because economic interests are decisive. There is no solution in sight to such a serious situation.
