Artist Statement: My work focuses on immigrants and their lives in the United States. I wanted to focus on showing what it’s like and how they live. A lot of times people believe that immigrants come to the US to take other people’s jobs and to commit crimes but most of the time immigrants are here doing the jobs that are left over and unwanted. These jobs are often jobs that don’t get paid much and have poor working conditions. Immigrants are forced to work these jobs to provide for their family in order to be able to give their kids a better life and keep them away from crime. Through my work I want to show what their lives are like.
