Construction on Ponce De Leon

In September 2022, Artist Aurora Molina began documenting the rapid development and destruction of her neighborhood in Coral Gables, FL. These photographs document the erasure of her neighborhood homes and parks. Many of the images in this series capture the front facade or main door of the home with yellow caution tape that signals caution or danger. The pictures portray a ghost town with empty homes marked for destruction. The absence of people and residents is profound and Molina points to this as a way of honoring the lives and stories of the community that once resided in this area.
