This work confronts the intersection of human migration and political power. Painted in acrylic on a 24 x 30 gallery canvas, it explores how immigration an act of hope, survival, and transformation—collides with the structures of politics, often marked by division, rhetoric, and policy.
Acrylic’s bold pigments and layered textures allow me to capture both the vibrancy of cultural identity and the tension of political discourse. The 24 x 30 format provides a stage large enough to hold these conflicting energies without resolution.
The painting reflects the duality of immigration as both deeply personal and profoundly political. It asks: Who gets to belong? Who decides?
Through bold colors and layered brushwork, the piece embodies resilience, struggle, and the search for dignity amidst political debate. Viewers are invited to pause and consider the humanity behind policy, the stories behind statistics, and the art that emerges when lived experience meets political reality.
