They don superhero garb with the objective of raising questions regarding our definition of heroism after 9-11 and our ignorance when it comes to the workforce that fuels our ever-consuming economy. Immigrants have always been the new blood that injects vitality into a city, but the process of accepting these newcomers into everyday life takes time. I believe that by portraying these men and women in a creative and positive way I can elevate awareness of the contributions immigrant laborers bring to our daily lives, and pay them their due respect. Many people go through their day to day lives in ignorance or denial of the tremendous sacrifices that others make to enrich and ensure their way of life." Website: |
