Children of Immigrants
This series is about Immigrants and their lives in the US. When creating the questions for the interview, I wanted the parents and their kids to have a conversation about the obstacles they faced when migrating. The processes I used are Vandyke and DASS on paper. I wanted to illustrate a written letter with images of their childhood from the past. What influenced me to create this series is simply because I am a child of immigrants. It makes me think about the unfortunate children being taken away from their families because they are here illegally. I wanted my viewers to really think about why families sacrifice their lives to create a better one for their children. On my DASS Transfers, I decided to have my subjects unidentifiable to show that every story of an immigrant have a common factor.
