Abstract
This series of work incorporates photographic imagery, mixed media and soundscapes that represent social movement, exchange, migration and the subtle scenes of life weaving in and out of our consciousness. These images reveal the emerging cultural impacts of migrant workers in American and Mexican societies while considering nationalism, territories, and belonging. It is a documentation of those who are changing Mexican and American lifestyles. This work is influenced by the ideas of transculturalism and transnationalism that exist in the American and Mexican landscape. It is the unveiling of transmigrants who are weaving of a new North and Central American landscape.
