Bend is a text and photographic work produced roughly at the same time as the Untitled (Multiple Exposure) series. Both live under the series titled, RUIN. Bend is a rumination on travel and legacy and connections between the past and present. Originally conceived after Fernandez photographed the Zapotec ruins throughout Oaxaca, Mexico during multiple trips, she developed a narrative that connected her personal family story with the photographs of the ancient ruins. “Bend seeks to bridge the gap between body and landscape by intertwining a personal travel narrative with documentary photographs of the Zapotec landscape and a performance for camera-self portrait.”
