Jorge studied architecture in the mid-90s, and then decided to combine their knowledge with a passion for photography, becoming one of the most famous photographers in Monterrey, his hometown.
On top of all these endless rows of identical houses look even aesthetically pleasing. But despite their beauty, the photographer indicates that the strict geometry reveals the absolute indifference of the authorities to the needs of the people.
