On my tour of the city, my cameras picked up on a particular mural on an old, worn-out piece of architecture. I researched and discovered that it was created by the Buendía brothers, famous muralists. What interested me was not only the vibrant artistic display but the addition of an ethnic mask in the mural seemingly out of place but looked great and poignant nonetheless. The mask represents the pre-Columbian culture of Mexico; it made me contemplate how art and culture from Japan, Nigeria, and the US in such different applications grow symbiotically. It encouraged me to conduct further study of how culture endures in society and gets integrated into modern ideology.
