Rodrigo Dada is a photographer based out of San Salvador, El Salvador. "Vortex" is a project about personal crisis and the human ability to regenerate, to rise from our ashes. Through the absurd, I explore the contemporary world, to find meaning in the meaningless, through the irony I aim to bring awareness about alienation. I reflect on absurd situations between people and objects in everyday life. The struggle to reach a balance and find meaning."
