Other

The drawing “Other” refers to the deep divisions in our world today and the way we see and fear each other. While the work obviously refers to immigrants and the physical U.S. border, it also refers to the invisible psychological, emotional, and cultural wall that divide and separate us. I made the chain-link fence appear significantly thicker, sturdier, and with much smaller openings than a typical fence. This was to enhance its sense of impenetrability. I wanted to contrast the cold hardness of the metal with the warm softness of the human skin that touches it.
