Acrylic cut outs and barbed wire on wood
20 × 29
“Chinga La Migra” is not only a term, but a movement that connects Hispanic and Chicano culture as one. The art piece in front of you symbolizes those words with barb wire flowing thru it to show movement of migrants coming to a country for a better life, the cut at the bottom of the canvas shows breaking free of the border. The butterflies symbolize the journey that migrants take traveling. With butterflies having one of the longest migration patterns. Traveling over 1000s of miles. Just like our relatives who travel to come to this country.
