The Mexican Dream is an ongoing photography project by Mexican photographer Daniel Rangel, created to capture the vibrant beauty, culture, and diversity of Mexico. Through his lens, Rangel aims to depict not only the country’s natural landscapes but also its rich cultural tapestry, the warmth of its people, and the deep-rooted traditions that shape everyday life. The project is a tribute to Mexico’s multifaceted identity, showcasing the contrasts between modernity and tradition, the urban and the rural, and the past and the present.

As an ongoing project, The Mexican Dream is continuously evolving. Rangel’s travels across the country take him to remote villages, historical towns, urban centers, and breathtaking natural landscapes, constantly uncovering new perspectives and experiences. The project remains a living document, reflecting the changes in Mexico’s social, political, and environmental landscapes, while preserving timeless traditions that continue to define the Mexican way of life.

The Mexican dream explores the dreamlike qualities of the country—its stunning landscapes, its colors, and its spirit. The project does not solely focus on famous landmarks or tourist destinations but seeks out the lesser-known corners of Mexico, from small towns to bustling markets, from the serene mountains to the vast deserts. Rangel’s work highlights both the everyday and the extraordinary, portraying Mexico as a land of possibility and beauty that continues to inspire dreams in its people and visitors alike.
