Birds have long been used as a metaphor for messengers of the spirit, an association that comes naturally for a creature that exists so comfortably between earth and the heavens. Under the gaze of one of Mexico's most outstanding photographers, they take on an added mystery, enhanced by constant reminders of their frailty. Iturbide's magnificent work is solidly rooted in the world around us, yet tinged with the fantastical spirituality of a Latin American vision.
