"Ancient Awareness" by Andrew Fernitz

The visual essay Ancient Awareness was put together in effort to tie in the oldest form of Hispanic culture with the modern. This essay is intended to present unique historical facts about ancient hispanic cultures that isn't normally addressed n common literature. The attitude towards the beliefs of this old culture are not always positive. Maybe some of the major issues we have currently on the globe could be helped with a different perspective. Pilsen , as a neighborhood, is an excellent example of a modern urban hispanic culture that cannot access their own ancient culture die to modern environmental restrictions.
