Seen Becoming Seen: Mexican Transculturalism and Transnationalism
The American social Landscape reflects a powerful convergence of
physical phenomena and cultural meaning. I have become an observer of
cultural change that becomes imprinted on the land through
transnational migration. It is reflected in the daily lives of
migratory immigrants from Mexico in our country and in their own.
Seen becoming seen incorporates photographic imagery to represent
movement, exchange and migration. These images hope to reveal the
invisible cultural impacts of migrant workers in our society making
them visible entities. It is a documentation of those who are
changing the scope of American life influenced by the ideas of
transculturalism and transnationalism that exist in the American and
Mexican landscape.
