Water
Personal memory by Jorge Petriavee Pantoja
1950 • Mexico City to Patzcureto San Miguel Allende, Mexico
“My grandparents used to say that the water in the ‘eye of the Yuriria crater’ used to turn red when a natural disaster would occur in the country. During the earthquake of 1985, the water started to evaporate at such a rate that it is now dry and it has been replenished with hydraulic pumps.”
