The Faces of Mexico is an ongoing portrait series that asks people to pause for a moment and examine what they think they know about identity and truth. The work mixes real photographic portraits of Mexicans, shot with a sense of quiet dignity and emotional weight, with AI generated counterparts that echo the same visual language. Side by side, the images unsettle easy assumptions. They pull you into that strange, flickering space where something feels honest yet possibly constructed.

The project grew out of a climate crowded with anti immigrant noise and tired stereotypes. It pushes back by treating every face with care and attention, reminding us that real people live behind the headlines. At the same time, it leans into the uncertainty of synthetic media and asks what it means to trust an image today. Nothing is labeled as real or artificial. Instead, viewers are invited to look longer than they usually would, to sense the small details, and to sit with the tension between what feels true and what might not be. The work becomes less about catching the lie and more about rediscovering how to see.
