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.
