Mateo Cruz

Mateo Cruz grew up on the rustic banks of the rivers outside Oaxaca, inheriting the life's work of his father at the young age of nineteen. His days are spent aboard a well-weathered river barge, transporting goods through the canals while surrounded by the earthy symphony of the nature around him. He's always alert to the scents and sounds that characterize his world, and the weight of his responsibilities is ever-present as he struggles to make ends meet for his family.
