Resting (Mexico) shows Saito extending his travel prints to Latin America, where he documented a period spent in Mexico—likely in the early 1960s during his most active international traveling phase. The resting figure subject—a person seated or recumbent in an outdoor setting—was a recurring motif across his travel work, the quality of repose different in each cultural context. Mexico's particular light, architecture, and human figure would have tested and enriched his formal vocabulary.
