46 Renacimientos is a multi-piece project of forty-six textural paintings in black and white, using paper, wood, plastic, gesso, and ink; each representing a corresponding abandoned architectural project, located throughout ninety miles of coast in Baja California, Mexico, which are now going to be re-developed; celebrating a second chance at life. COCOTREN is an acronym for Coastal Corridor Tijuana-Rosarito-Ensenada, and it is 90 miles of highway connecting the three cities alongside the Pacific Ocean coast. Throughout this corridor, 46 construction projects were halted in 2008 due to the recession and remained abandoned for 15 years.
