Mexican photographer Pablo López Luz’s Terrazo is a body of work that presents viewers with the realities of urbanization and unmitigated urban sprawl in Mexico. With images of Acapulco and Mexico City, López Luz offers striking views of endless development while raising questions on the consequences of urban growth.

Through López Luz’s pictures the natural world becomes decimated by urbanization, forcing a reflection on the relationship between population growth, social class and the fragility of nature amidst a world of concrete and pavement. While López Luz spotlights contemporary Mexico, his work in fact confronts global issues, prompting us to consider the effects of rapid and seemingly endless development.
