Medium: linocut Year: 2023 Image Size: 24 x 18 inches Edition Size: 10 An hommage to all those immigrants who die on the journey as they seek asylum in new countries. As a cultural activist/artist/printmaker, Juan Fuentes has dedicated his career to being part of a global movement for social change. His works address issues relating to local communities of color, social justice, and international struggles for liberation.

Signed, titled and numbered from the edition of 50.
