Case of the Dreamers
For many living in countries ridden with poverty and violence, immigrating illegally to other countries that offer a better living situation and financial stability is viewed as their only choice. File folders were used to symbolize this dream, which contains deconstructed legal documents that hold the story of hardship and perseverance families experience during the difficult immigration process. The folders also contained “unknown” files, which highlight the fact that millions of immigrants still struggle to remain and thrive in the land of freedom.
