Artist Statement
The construction of this monument is to send a message to immigrants and others how much we must sacrifice in order to get the same treatments as other Americans as well as opportunities. Opportunities such as jobs, being closer to families, and even rights such as voting. The monument is supposed to be made from reflective glass for a reason. As a hard working immigrant, we want others to see the journey behind it all and how much dedication it took for us to be in a United nation. For the non it is a reflection to life that immigrants look up to whenever they look at themselves in the mirror. A person who deserves equal and as much opportunity as the person looking into the reflective glass. Being an immigrant is not easy, but we hope this monument teaches you the journey of an immigrant’s life.
