At the Border
One Landscape Divided
Art activist. Documenting the migrant crisis at the wall.
Growing up in the borderlands of El Paso and Juarez, I have a deeply rooted bicultural identity and perspective on the immigration crisis where Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico converge. While the critical issues of immigration are a global concern, particularly along the 2,000-mile stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border, my focus is on the microcosm where one landscape is now divided.
• To share the close-up experience of the wall
• To give a face to the unrelenting migrant crisis, revealing the tangled reality on both sides of the border
• To expose the racial, humanitarian, and environmental consequences
• To inspire individuals to speak out
• To spark bipartisan dialogue about legal, fact-based solutions, at a time when truth is ignored
