STATEMENT

When we encounter the term “border,” the majority of us automatically turn our thoughts to the boundary between the US and Mexico . It is after all, the most widely referenced border by US politicians and press, and often sensationalized as the epicenter of quite a few of our more challenging national “problems.” While this project makes no overt reference to any border, it does ask the viewer to define this arbitrary construct.
