This ongoing portrait series challenges viewers to confront their assumptions about identity, authenticity, and representation. Blending real photographic portraits of Mexicans—captured with quiet dignity and emotional depth—with AI-generated counterparts that mimic the same aesthetic, The Faces of Mexico invites us to question what we believe to be true in the images we see. Against a backdrop of anti-immigrant rhetoric and misinformation, this work humanizes a community often misrepresented, while exploring the limits of perception in an age of synthetic media. Rather than revealing which portraits are real and which are artificially created, the project urges viewers to slow down, look deeply, and wrestle with the blurred line between fact and fiction.
