A boa—endemic to Mexico’s Pacific coast—meanders through a green geometric fence at night, detailed by the flash of light, its body suspended between wildness and containment. The background fades into obscured vegetation, evoking a displaced ecology. Removed from its ‘natural’ environment, the snake becomes a figure of tension—caught between control and instinct, exposure and concealment—speaking to the ways we estrange what we seek to behold, and yet it unfolds, and continues on.
