MIGUEL A. ARAGÓN

Aragón is a native of Ciudad Járez, a primary battleground in the violent war between rival cartels and law enforcement agencies for control of the drug trade into the United States.  Thousands of people die in drug-related violence every year in Mexico.  Content for Aragón's images comes from photographs published by the media, in print an ddigital format depicting crude and raw forensic evidence.  Aragón's work is derived from a need to find meaning in these brutal events that reposition the corpse in one's field of vision, reminding us that our physical existence is finite.
