I see the crossroads of two cities not very far apart. I've grown up with these man-made boundaries and staged palm trees that force conversations about the authenticity of our identity and location. I feel a disconnect within the walls of skyscrapers and stretches of cement highways; they're in the way of my relationship to nature and my community. I've driven all over Los Angeles and across the border to Tijuana many times, through the fence and the barbed wire to see faces that look like the same faces in Los Angeles. The collage of images with the border at the bottom remind me of the way people can be cut off and denied instead of cared for and acknowledged. I love the way Valdez used "LA" and "TJ" as a frame for this image, tying the well-known acronyms together to possibly make the viewer wonder about why these cities are different at all."—Trina Calderón #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth」10月15日 1時00分
