Reviews

"It is the enduring strength of Unsettled / Desasosiego that it does not allow us to see these young people as just ‘gang members,' 'deportees,' or as any other reductive classification.  We, the readers, have before us the work of a photographer who did not sacrifice relationships for images. In the society of the spectacle, this is a rare and wonderful achievement."

--Fred Ritchin, critic, curator, professor at NYU Tisch School of the Arts and author of After Photography and Bending the Frame.
