Alejandra Rubio has always been intrigued by people’s lives. “Whatever culture, whatever rituals they do, what they believe in — it’s all fascinating to me. How they go about their morning routine, where they go during the day, their thought processes, what they do before bed. People’s different personalities intrigue me — their background, who their ancestors are, what their culture is, if they even know their own culture.”
That curiosity led her to become a visual artist working with photography and mixed media to explore wide-ranging subjects that run from her own Apache family and culture to the women of Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a legal, licensed brothel in Nevada (“why they were there, how they got there, what they are hoping for their future and their children”).
Rubio has also turned her camera on.
