The Americas' fossil fuel extraction, processing, and transportation
This research project comprise a series of cartographic drawings that blend geospatial data and geological speculation, crafting visual stories on different scales. "The Mexican Fourth Transformation" presents a continental current-history of the Americas, while "Standard Oil vs Everyone" (part of Mexican Petrol-scapes) highlights a historical oil-related codependence between the US and Mexico. In "Oil Polluted Watersheds," the focus shifts to a regional perspective, projecting current and potential oil-related pollution over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the narrowest part of Mexico. Lastly, "Oil, Hinterland, Agriculture, and Urbanity" zooms into Salamanca, Gto., narrating the journey of oil-polluted runoff to fresh water sources and agricultural fields.
