“This series, subtitled Texas, Spain, and Mexico, is interesting to me, as I love to think in comparisons. In particular, I think of how coastlines bind Spain and Mexico, and how the majority of Texas is flat, dry, and hot. The soccer goals seen in Spain and Mexico express those countries’ joy of sport, competition, athleticism, and pride. Places and icons that reveal a sense of their native cultures’ aspirations and limitations.” — Jimmy LeFlore
