The project “Cancun: The Unspoken Truth about Paradise” disclose the intersection of tourism, media representation, and socio-economic disparity through interactive handmade postcards. The postcards, each design featuring an idyllic image of Cancun's renowned tourist spots—such as luxury hotels, residential complexes, restaurants, amongst other tourist locations—are designed to engage viewers in a more critical understanding of the destination. Upon interaction, the postcards reveal hidden, less-publicized images of Cancun's reality: local hotels, impoverished neighbor hoods, etc. By inviting critics to engage with these handcrafted postcards, the project exposes the often-overlooked side of Cancun, challenging the glossy media narratives that portray it as a sparkly luxurious paradise while ignoring the complex, everyday lives of its residents. This immersive media object aims to provoke dialogue about the power of representation, tourism’s role in perpetuating inequality, and the responsibility of media in framing narratives about world-known places such as Cancun, being the second most visited tourist destination in the world.
