The BORDERS series speaks about this moment of nothingness, where the immigrant has left his past life but has not arrived to this new world, he is in the limit of two lives, thinking he will arrive to the promised land. The reality is far away from what they think it will be, they are confronted with the inimaginable. Conscious about the problematics that are experienced in borders around the world, my objective is to create visual content precisely as a defense for the individual.
