Between Concrete and Mountains

Cities are not finished objects. They are lived in, extended, repaired and remade by the people who move through them. Here, the cyclist brings the street into focus, a single human moment set between the scale of the home and the permanence of the mountains. Taken from a moving car while travelling between craft towns near Oaxaca, this image catches an ordinary journey through a place built gradually, piece by piece. Exposed brick, concrete roofs and steel left ready for another floor show a town that is still evolving. It is not shaped by one complete vision, but by countless small decisions made over time, as people adapt buildings to changing needs.
