Gingerbread Borderland: HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2018

Gingerbread Borderland is a recreation of the U.S.–Mexico Border in Brownville, Texas and Matamoros, Mexico in the Rio Grande Valley. It depicts the Rio Grande which marks the actual borderline, the border fence running beside it, and the Gateway International Bridge in the Brownsville,Texas area. The objects in the scene all have particular meaning and are things I have photographed, and seen as I have walked, canoed, and ridden bikes in the border area since 2007. The intent of this work is to build awareness of the harrowing risks that immigrants take as they work to enter the U.S. and build better lives for their families in the U.S.
