Mi Barrio


What follows is a photo snapshot survey of Twenty Ninth Street in South Tucson. Masks and roses and miracles. The miracles, los milagros, bear an explanation; these are golden charms purchased to pin to the image of a saint in plea for an answer to a prayer. All the other images are simply a recreation of the value of daily life.

Every one of these pieces of street art is high fired, hand painted, ceramic tile. One hopes the life span will be all the workers expect.
