Pedro Reyes is a Mexico City artist who studied architecture. Oftentimes his work consists of physical sculptures. His two projects that led me to him were Palas por Pistolas, and Disarm. Both used guns from the Culiacan area, a known area for drug cartel violence. The former project he made melted down guns into 1527 gardening tools. The same number of trees were planted with those tools. Disarm used confiscated guns from the area to make musical instruments. The variety of his work seems to be a response to the times we live in.
