GOLD LINING
The environmental still lifes in this series capture discarded immigrant bags, abandoned near the border wall in El Paso, TX. These bags are photographed beside the Rio Grande, resting on an emergency thermal golden blanket that both shields and elevates them from the harsh surroundings. Left unopened, the bags remain untouched as a powerful symbol of the protection of their identities, anonymity, privacy, and the fundamental human rights that every individual deserves.
