Mauricio Saldaña Cartagena spent over a decade documenting suburban sprawl and its human consequences across northern Mexico. This mid-career retrospective gathers his deliberate, series-based photobooks including "Suburbia Mexicana" and the striking "Carpoolers," where he captured construction workers commuting in pickup truck beds from a pedestrian overpass. The work is rooted in Mexico, but the questions of development, housing, and migration will feel uncomfortably familiar to Bay Area eyes.
