The Unheard Water Tribe

  • Photographer: Daniel Azpe

 

“An over-indulgence of anything, even something as pure as water, can intoxicate.”
Criss Jami

 Photographer Daniel Azpe travels to Mexico to capture the children of the village Mezcala leaving by Lake Chapala.

The lake, situated in the central west of Mexico, has great ecological, economic and cultural value, with thousands of people depending upon it. But due to the pollution of its waters, a health crisis is unfolding. Chronic kidney diseases are now reaching epidemic levels, and are hitting children the hardest.
