Borders

The idea was born from a trip to Montreal, Canada. At the train station, to visit the dome, there were walls full of mosaic art. It casts an afternoon light on the floor, full of orange, yellow, and green tones. Not from the fluorescent light, but the street sidewalk iron bars, which were enchanting. Moreover, the USA flag model came from Jasper Johns, an American painter, sculptor, and printmaking artist. So, transforming images from sources is a recharging process, rooted in the past.

Furthermore, for this reason, Borders is a political statement with many points to consider for its content.  Green represents fertile ground; additionally, the entire forest symbolizes abundance. Underneath the banner, set against a gold background filled with Maya and Aztec symbols, lies ancient history.

In addition, crows are flying into the light, symbolizing the people.
For this reason, unable to cross the wall, some may die of starvation or drowning to find freedom. Thus, not leaving behind the smuggling of drugs in the middle of the needs of the people and the lord drugs creates more problems. Furthermore, if everybody pays for it, deportation is inevitable.
Moreover, the message is now clear. Borders’ depiction represents the wall between the USA, Latin America, and other settlers. Consequently, it generates more income for impresarios in the labor areas. For others, a thread. In conclusion, the government has never ceased to steal, as its selfishness prevents it from seeing the future of its citizens. In short, some people may meet to face their demise on the road to freedom.
