Limited edition of 10 

Rafa is a limited edition photograph from Star Montana. This image, in an edition of 10, was taken when Montana came to Marfa to visit Rafa Esparza as he prepared for Tierra. Sangre. Oro., Ballroom's fall 2017 exhibition.

Montana's striking medium format portraits of people of color are narrative works that explore inter-generational trauma, migration, and the representation of brown bodies. The majority of Montana's portraits are taken in her community in Los Angeles, however, Rafa, was made in Marfa at the worksite where Esparza built bricks with adoberos, artists and members of the Marfa community.
