DESTINO
Destino, meaning “destination” or “destiny” in Spanish tells the story of undocumented Central American migrants and the perilous journey by freight train across Mexico as they attempt to enter the United States in pursuit of a better life. In documenting a journey both concrete and figurative, I convey the experience of individuals who struggle to control their own destiny when confronted by extreme circumstances. Destino is both a social commentary on one of the biggest global issues of our times and an epic adventure tale. It conveys the experience of a generation of exiles traveling across a landscape that has become increasingly dangerous, heading towards a precarious future as a last resort.
