TESORITOS

González, during the process of creating “Tesoritos,” connected with Mexican migrants in Canada through Facebook groups. She questioned the community about the treasure that they brought from Mexico to Canada. that object or non-object that had a special meaning for them. What made them remember where they came from, who they are, what they love the most?

González visited homes and workplaces to meet legal and illegal Mexicans in the cities of London and Toronto to talk about their journeys and photograph their tesoritos. González, with this series, questions concepts of home, migration, and relationships. 

After the meeting, she printed the photographs and added a personal note to them based on their meeting and connection. González then scanned each photograph.
