Children in Cages – Soft Sculpture 1 – 2020 – Part of a series called “Testimonios” about children separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.

This series of soft sculptures bears the testimonies of the children who were kept in detention near the border, where they plead for places to sleep, to eat, bathe, and see their families once again. The work is inspired by the information released to the public, dedicated to spreading awareness and drawing compassion for these children within our own borders, children who need our help and even more so with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which makes them subject to more stress and legal and humane trouble.
