Valladolid

Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico

Photographs | Valladolid, 2023: Traces of the Colonial City

In the heart of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, Valladolid stands as a vivid archive of colonial encounter. These photographs, taken in 2023, explore the layered textures of a city built on Mayan land, where pastel colonial facades and Catholic churches still sit with quiet authority.

Walking through Valladolid, I was struck by the quietness.

This set sits within my wider practice of exploring colonial imprints on landscape, and how place holds memory. In Valladolid, the colonial past is not a distant echo—it is still written into the walls, and carried by the people who continue to tell its story across generations.
