It’s my first time in Mexico. I came here to gain new perspective on what it means to love, what it means to live, and what it means to die. A day comes and we are born. A day comes and we die. And so much happens in between...
This country-Mexico City in particular, and its people are teaching me how it’s possible to celebrate death as a part of life. Yes there is immense grief and sadness in death but it doesn’t have to be something to fear. Freedom can be found in accepting that death of loved ones and even our own has so much to teach us about life.
The energy of Mexico City in October and November is unlike any other place I’ve ever experienced. I filmed around the city and put together a video to relive the experience and I hope I did it justice.
El Día de Muertos/Day of the Dead is a beautiful holiday celebrated in Mexico on November 1st and 2nd (though actually celebrations go on throughout October into November!) It's like a grand family reunion-except dead ancestors are the guests of honor 🦋
