“In Mexico’s War on Drugs, Battle Lines are Drawn in Chalk” Voisin’s raw and direct visual investigation of the violent and complex drug war in Mexico offers us important insights into the horrifying violence there. Her images leave very little to the imagination; her use of color is extremely effective, and her navigation of the crime scenes and daily lives of Mexican communities ravaged by drugs and gangs are a tribute to her tenacity and courage.
