LA MERCED

 La Merced

The market of La Merced in Mexico City is a melting pot of life, color, and activity pulsating in the heart of the bustling historic center.

In this labyrinth of alleyways filled with stalls and traders, a visual spectacle unfolds, inviting to be captured and explored through the lens of a camera.

The purpose of this project is not only to document the market itself but also to give voice to the stories woven between its corridors. It is more than just taking photographs; it is about understanding the daily life of those who inhabit and visit this emblematic place.

From the traders who have dedicated their lives to commerce, to the customers who roam the corridors in search of fresh and authentic products, each person has a story to tell.
