Tired of Begging

In this project, Rodrigo Salido-Moulinie intends to photograph believers of "Santa Muerte" or Saint Death (a Mexican fold Saint). He wants to depict these poorly understood objects and spaces of devotion: the statuettes, the ink on their skins, the public shrines and paintings. Tired of Begging uses Santa Muerte as a common thread to connect a diverse set of stories of conflict, violence, displacement, poverty and urban marginalization.
