BORDERS
María & Jésus
The Plight of Migrant Children is told through the story of María and Jésus that I created on-site and photographed with my iPhone. Families escaping from dire circumstances in Latin America to the United States were separated at the border during the first Trump administration. Children were locked in cages with no appropriate adult supervision. My hunt for materials integrates with my creative process. The vintage wooden boy and girl sparked this story followed by the collection of thrift store finds. The “Bobbsey Twins” represent the whiteness of America. In my story, the twins embody the best of humanity and ideals.
