This print speaks to resilience. I made it as a response to hardship—a reminder to never give up. Each element carries weight. The codex speaks to how others once tried to write our story for us. The barbed wire cuts through, marking the pain and struggle of migration. The young girl stands for the future—still growing, still here. The dove holds space for the ideal, even if it feels distant. Green is hope. Brown is us.
