Partition sparks conversation about the physical, mental and symbolic borders that exist between the US and Mexico. A gallery is the initial conversation setting because it is even ground where people can vocalize their views, opinions and experiences about the US/Mexico border.  The “white walls” of a gallery serve as a clean canvas, free of any preconceived notions concerning the border and offer an opportunity to view the issue with fresh eyes.  The installation will consist of wallpaper, a table, two chairs, dishware and flatware that all call attention to the problems of putting borders on single entities and blocking their natural flow.  Patrons will have an opportunity to purchase a Partition souvenir in the gallery gift shop, which will facilitate the US/Mexico dialogue outside of the gallery setting.  Proceeds from the sale of the souvenirs will go to the Border Angels organization, which consists of a group of volunteers that help prevent deaths along the US/Mexico border.

Carga. the pieces are meant to get people to discuss the dynamic between the US and Mexico. their relationship and all the ramifications of the impending border wall. so them "needing each other" and being "two sides of the same coin" are all valid points and hopefully the pieces would get people to vocalize these views among others. . these pieces do not cast judgment but instead initiate analysis. Thank you to everybody for the great feedback!

I like the objects, but not sure I understand the concept... Does it imply that the need one another, or that they are two sides of the same coin, or what?
Or is it just to show the border itself?
