En Memoriam
"Los que viven en la memoria nunca mueren."
(They who live in memory never die)

A collection of digital paintings of the twelve known asylum seekers in 2019 who did not survive the trials and tribulations of the American border.  Many of their faces are well known now, and I wanted to honor them in some way all together.  I created digital portraits of each one, then incorporated them into a  master background painting of Tucson's iconic El Tiradito (The Castaway) Wishing Shrine.
