I was invited to take part in an exhibition honoring the work of Edgar Allan Poe. As I moved through his poetry, The Raven stayed with me — its rhythm, its weight, its haunting questions. One line in particular echoed deeply: “Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” It brought my thoughts to migration, to the uncertain futures faced by children brought to this country by their parents — the Dreamers. Like Poe’s narrator, they too stand at the edge of the unknown, daring to dream where others hesitate. This print is a reflection on that space between fear and hope, between darkness and the possibility of flight.
