This image features time-traveling visitors who have come to the ancestral lands of their sister tribes in the Coachelle Valley. Romero works closely with her models to create contemporary versions of traditional stories, making images grounded in history, but also strongly placing indigenous individuals in the present day. This photograph is from her series, "Jackrabbit, Cottontail & Spirits of the Desert."
