Garza-Cuen directs her work towards sociology and research of social constructs. What is American society? What are its characteristics? 'Detroit' is framed within the project 'Wandering in Place', a project immersed in different cities, attempting to capture their essence; in the case of 'Detroit', Jennifer seeks what remains of that mega American metropolis and how it has become a shadow of what was the 'Motor City'. This interest in the city is born as one of the great American symbols of prosperity and opportunity.
