Elementos

Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

​

This mixed media presentation is meant to face the fact that we are not equal... Yet we don’t need to be equal to live and practice equity. Fellowship is present. To contrast each other is to compliment each other. To help each other is to be at peace with each other. These are concepts that sister cities Canoga Park and Taxco have been practicing for decades.

It is more difficult to find our differences than it is to find the beauty in our similarities.

​

Dancers: Rodrigo Carmona and Benedek Mendoza

Musician: Cesar de Alba

Camera: Loretto Iniguez

Elementos.

Ourselves.

Nature, our nature.

Earth, or “the strongest element” as we say.

She nurtures,

easing the growth,

yet she does more than we may now.

Without her space,

“together” wouldn’t be a thing.

Not possible...

Without her distance, 

“apart” wouldn’t be a thing,

for she likes balance, which might we feel like a sting.

​

Balance, sisterhood, brotherhood, fellowship too.

Wind.

Or “earths flip side element” As we say.

Earth nurtures, wind can destroy,

yet she can get you dirty,

his touch you’ll enjoy.

She, loves you any way.

He, allows, lifts the spores’ thin air ballet.

With no sympathy,

“apart” will remain a thing,

for to make balance,

we need not common things in between...
