The American Dream?
The image bring awareness to the Immigrant Rights Movement. Undocumented immigrants have to endure many difficulties in the U.S. They work under poor conditions for a low amount of money, they’re often discriminated, don’t have access to education, social services, etc.. Currently I.C.E has many immigrants detained, they’re performing illegal surgeries on women, people are sleeping in cages, and families are being separated. This is something that has to stop. This topic is important to me because I’m the daughter of immigrants, we’ve endured many difficulties and as I got older I learned that not everyone has to go through these things. I created this image last summer, I went to work with my parents, and I took a picture of my mom mowing the grass of one of our customers. I recently added the words, “The American Dream?”
