Today, the U.S.-Mexico border is constantly being misrepresented as a place of danger and violence. But to me the borderlands are home. It’s a place of humanity, solidarity, and compassion. My art hopes to create a contemplative space for people to study the borderlands and to reflect on the urgent needs of people living there. Through painting, drawing, video and performance I invite people to contemplate the beauty that exists in a land where people negotiate their place, where people thrive and struggle, and where people resist the idea of unjust borders.
