IMMIGRANTS: US AGAINST THE WALL

“These images portray immigrants facing deportation. The faces of the undocumented are hidden, highlighting how invisible they must be. The faces of U.S. citizens are shown. Each person collaborates in choosing their wall and position for the photograph. My artistic goal is to break down the barriers and strengthen our communities. We have to build human connections if we are to tear down the walls that divide us.”

Ellen Jacob is an award-winng visual artist/photographer and educator whose work focuses on issues of social justice.
