Building a New Path

Editorial illustration created for Middlebury College, a U.S. institution known for its cultural and social research focus. The artwork depicts the making of an American life rooted in Mexico: the protagonists build a road through a cactus landscape, while the surface of the road is formed by stripes and stars referencing the U.S. flag. In the background, the skyline of an American city rises. The visual metaphor highlights identity, migration and belonging as ongoing processes, shaped by movement, decisions and the weaving together of inner and outer landscapes
