This project questions what it means to be uprooted. To know more about this exploration, please visit my pages Immigrant Song (Quadriptychs) and Immigrant Song (Diptychs).

This installation of photographs transferred to watercolor paper is part of immigrants, an exhibition on immigration, exile, and asylum I co-curated with Ellen Jacob at Soho Photo Gallery. It shows the work of eleven photographers focusing on people who cross the world’s borders, driven by nearly infinite variations in human need and desire to leave behind a life they know in exchange for one they do not.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart to the immigrant models who participated in my project for this show: Naivy from Cuba, Ching Wen from Taiwan, Janice from England, Natalia from Russia, and María for El Salvador.
