Setting up the cardboard cutouts

At the end of the trip, after several practice runs and attempts to set-up the cardboard cutouts, we found a location that was perfect for the final set-up of my composition.

Location scouting

looking for locations in Rio Rico, AZ to set up my composition of cardboard cutouts was difficult because of the unpredictable rainfall.

Travel Caution

As we drove around a back road on a rainy afternoon in Rio Rico, AZ, we ventured into a campground with a Travel Caution sign that warned us of the activities in the area.

My amazing crew

I couldn't have made the trip and installed this project without my amazing crew.

In the desert, we are all small

My experiences observing the border crossing revealed to me the reasons why I wanted to take such a quiet, subtle route to address the issue in a creative manner.

The border crossing

Nogales, AZ and Nogales, Mexico were literally divided by this man-made border. 

A migrant's journey

As I traveled around the desert with friends and family who came to help me install my cardboard cutouts, we came upon the recurring scene of clothes, backpacks and other item's left behind by migrants on their journey.
