Label Text"El Sueño Americano (the American Dream) is a photographic essay of the discarded personal effects and belongings of migrants and smigglers apprehended by Border Patrol agensts, discarded while being processed at a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol facility near the U.S./Mexico border in southern Arizona. My intent is to explore the humanity of the migrants who risk their lives crossing through the desert and to create a personal connection for the viewer to a migrant and their hope for a better life."
