This print reflects on the border between Mexico and the U.S. — a place shaped by movement, memory, and silence. It quietly traces the journey of migration from south to north, where every mark carries longing.
Fragments of 17th- and 18th-century books in Spanish and English are sewn and chine collé into the surface — stitched histories layered with weight and meaning. A relief-printed figure moves through the center, caught in the act of crossing, suspended in the current of the Rio Grande. Over it all, a blind embossment of the Codex Mendoza lingers like a ghost — the quiet presence of histories that refuse to disappear.
