Me and Leon Radl made a photozine in Mexico. I took photos of different cacti in Tehuacan and Leon drew with a correction pen in Oaxaca. With the help of Ojo Tres & the riso printing process, we combined our art. 

"silence in which I get lost. birds. wind tickling my hair on my ears. colours. stitches while passing. contrasts. connectedness. X protects Y with spikes; out of love. cacti. cactus.

loving hugging; with a distance; alone; different ways of loving... line next to line. layer next to layer. life next to death. underneath all those spikes hides fragility.

what does X really protect? who is X actually protecting?

merging in individuality.

the protection of your AMOR from yourself; your protection from others; to love also means to hurt ...

siempre contigo."
