CRUZANDO CROSSING.

This artwork was originally made for a relief engraving collage assignment. I had the opportunity to collage several images to create a story of my choice. During this time in 2019, I was hearing about the migrant caravan and the many immigrants that were making their way to the US-Mexico border. I also reflected on the stories I had heard of my family crossing the US-Mexico border and the articles I had read about families or small children crossing with their parents. From these narratives I created an illustration that represented the journey that many immigrants experienced to cross the US-Mexican border for a life they dreamed of.
