Carlos Alvarez Montero, meksykanski fotograf, w swoich pracach pokazuje zaleznosc miedzy wygladem a tozsamoscia.
Scars (Blizny - przyp. autorki) to seria 20 portretow mieszkanow Meksyku. Kazdy z bohaterow w jakims momencie zycia zdecydowal sie na tatuaz na twarzy badz szyi by w ten sposob zaminifestowac swoje poglady. Tatuaze pozwolily im wyroznic sie z tlumu, okreslic siebie jako jedynych w swoim rodzaju i takich, ktorzy nie ogladaja sie za siebie. Za to pewnie patrza w przyszlosc.

ENG:
Carlos Alvarez Montero is a native from Mexico City. His work focuses on the relationship between appearance and the creation of identity.
Scars is a series composed of 20 portraits of residents of Mexico City. Each resident decided to engrave ink marks on their neck/faces as a statement of their life experiences. This allows them to step out of the crowd, define themselves as unique and by no means look back. Just forward.
