"In 2020, whenever pandemic-related restrictions permitted, I would explore the streets of my hometown, Cochabamba. Driven by a desire to unearth stories and forge connections through my lens, I embarked on a journey of capturing the lives of the vendors I encountered. Documenting their experiences became not only a means of socializing but also a reminder that the true impact of the pandemic extends beyond the medical realm to encompass profound social and systemic challenges.

The photograph depicts a fruit truck that has been transformed into a mobile market, which is a testament to the adaptive measures taken by many vendors and seasoned individuals in the informal sector. Despite the absence of a safety net, these resilient individuals navigated the uncertainties with courage and unwavering determination."

In her artistic practice, Marisol Mendez (1991) highlights the interplay between truth and fiction, introducing diverse perspectives. Mendez delves into the contrasts between past and present, candid and staged, naturalistic and mythical. She emphasizes the intricate connection between what a photograph represents and the (sur)real world it originates from.
