Esconderse 35mm photography

Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, or “hidden port,” became a quarterly refuge 
while living in Mexico City. 

I’ve been struck there with the sensation of true aloneness, which feels 
decidedly different to me than what I would consider loneliness. 

The trees and the waves are far too present for that. 

The beach town’s name originally comes from a legend about an 
indigenous woman who was kidnapped by pirates and escaped, 
hiding in the jungle. They called her La Escondida, The Hidden Woman.

Esconderse can be translated as " to hide away”, or, when referencing 
celestial bodies, “to go in.”
