PAULA CORTAZAR, NUEVO LEÓN, MEXICO

Paula Cortazar is a Mexican sculptor from Monterrey, Nuevo León. Here, huge limestone quarries – used for making concrete - are left open to the elements, allowing particulates to cause pollution in the nearby city.As a symbolic gesture for My Mark: My City, Paula made a copy of one of the rocks in the quarry out of concrete and returned both the original rock and the concrete rock to its original location. As she says, “now is the time to give back - after all the resources we’ve taken - and for the city to contribute to preserving nature
