“I define myself, first of all, as a free person. I also consider myself queer . . . a person who fights for my beliefs,” the artist has said. Raised in a conservative suburb outside Mexico City, Blow approaches photography as an act of self-construction and social action. Her work often celebrates the vibrancy of LGBTQIA+ youth culture. Featuring Blow’s friends, drag queens, models, and artists, these photographs present a fiercely loving community resisting a heteronormative society steeped in Catholic tradition. Images of tattooed and leather-clad bodies, self-portraits, and portrayals of the reggaeton singer La Favi, recently deceased artist Alan Balthazar, and performer Pepx Romero, among others, give full expression to queer joy and creativity.
