Stephanie Syjuco’s "Total Transparency Filter (Portrait of N)" turns its attention to the hostilities of the United States’ immigration policy.

Here is a figure the artist identifies as a student in the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, draped in a gray-and-white checkered cloth and seated in a plain studio setting.

Rendering the subject present but not completely visible, this concealment can be understood as a protective gesture that removes a young person from the gaze of a punitive government. It also speaks broadly to the forced erasure of undocumented migrants from public life.

The checkered cloth may be recognized as the default background of Photoshop. It is the "transparency filter" because it offers a space of neutrality for editing photographs.

This work is on view in #GoingDarkGuggenheim.
