Water Drops
Water Drops are humanitarian efforts in the Arizona desert to provide relief to migrants making the dangerous journey into the United States. Every year, hundreds of migrants die from dehydration. Border Patrols have been recorded finding these drops and emptying the water jugs. This piece replaces the lightness and transparency of the empty plastic jugs with the heavy, grey materiality of concrete. The weight of the objects, as well as the smooth, cold concrete surface, evokes the cruelty of a system that would condemn migrants to death for the act of seeking a better life.
