Lost & Found

These photos capture the epic movement of Mexican migrants through the Sonoran Desert- the hopeful, fragile, and sometimes tragic experience of the many thousands who cross the border seeking a new life in the United States. In the artist's black and white photographs, taken in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, we encounter the terrible beauty of the desert they traverse. We also discover the traces of their passage in the roads and paths worn by blistered feet in the indifferent sands, and in the objects shed one after another along the way, until little remains beyond hope and will.
