A movement born out of migration and distance—out of likeness and difference. In this mutually birthed language we seek to obliterate the illusion that we are separate from each other and the environment that holds us together. We are no bigger or smaller. We are a brotherhood. A kinship.

Rosarito, Mexico

There is a deafening. Displaced from the natural environment. The consequences of being born in a society where your history once didn’t belong. Purity stolen. We are stealing the last organisms that assist our breath. The leftover waste that captures ecosystems washes along the shore. A personification of extinction.
