Artist, Mexican, born Dominican Republic, 1977

This is a photograph of a person resting inside a pickup truck. The image is captured from a top-down perspective directly above the truck, revealing a view of the vehicle parked on a paved road with painted lines visible on the surface. The truck bed is open, and inside it, there is a person lying down with their eyes closed, dressed in a bright blue t-shirt and jeans, surrounded by a few personal items including a backpack and what appears to be a log of wood. The truck itself has a weathered, rusted appearance, and its earthy color contrasts with the blue attire of the person. The overall composition uses lines and symmetry to create a sense of balance in the photograph.
