Artist Statement
"¿Por que el grupo paramilitar recibio el nombre, Los Zetas?"
"Por que despues de la Z, no hay nada..."
-Heriberto Lazcano alias El Z-3/El Verdugo
Translation:
"Why did the paramilitary group, The Z's receive that specific name?"
"Because after the Z, there's nothing..."
-Heriberto Lazcano AKA The Z-3/The Executioner
My sustained investigation is on Mexican culture, but I'll also be focusing on the narco aesthetic which originates from the country. As a Mexican American, I am fascinated by everything that is related to Mexico, from the food, to the culture, the country's history, to its bloody war on drugs that started years ago.
