First 3 min - video art. Outstanding 5 min - reflection (voice and text my own).

The Sirens is a video art project as part of the Gate to El Dorado. This piece is a graphic visualisation of the current climate happening across the US-Mexico Border, which is where I grew up. It talks about abuse of power, violence, politics, xenophobia, narcotics, death, money, immigration, but more importantly it asks us to question what we've been fed to believe. To wonder about what lies in between. To not take information for granted as this makes us unsensitised. What you see here it is not normal, let's talk about it, let's question what we believe as 'the truth' and more importantly, let's connect to create a collective support for those who have no resources to spread their message. Part of the earnings from this piece will go towards creating a physical installation I've designed to be exhibited at the Baja California and Sonora border with the US in 2022.

Disclaimer : This piece does not aim to discriminate any nation, group or race. It stands against violence, Xenophobia, white supremacism and abuse of power. It aims to raise awareness about what’s caught between the lines; In the middle of desperation.
