ā•multiplicity

by Ricky Toledano”Walls don’t seperate space; they exist in space; therefore, they separate nothing” is the Vedic maxim I had learned that removes barriers. Many years later, I learned to revere the barriers around us, especially those of Puebla, the city I discovered as a boy exploring his heritage. The portals of Puebla — or should I say the poems of Puebla — have never ceased to captivate me. The portal is an artform in Puebla and I photograph them year after year — often the same ones — just to have the pleasure of contemplating the beauty in all that goes into creating a gateway between spaces.
