Flor Garduño’s Mesteños is a thoughtful collection of black-and-white photographs that gently explores the relationship between people, animals, and the traditions of indigenous America. Through simple yet powerful images of horses and Native Americans, Garduño invites viewers to reflect on the quiet beauty and enduring spirit found in rural life. Her photographs capture moments that feel both timeless and deeply connected to nature, offering a humble glimpse into cultures that have long shaped the land and its stories.

Inspired by her travels through remote regions, Garduño’s work reflects a sincere appreciation for the people and landscapes she encountered. Rather than presenting a straightforward documentary, Mesteños seeks to honor the subtle connections between humans, animals, and their environment. The images quietly celebrate resilience, identity, and memory, encouraging viewers to pause and consider the simple yet profound ties that bind us all to our shared history and the natural world.
