Brayan Enriquez: Like Hills Made of Sand

For this new body of work, Enriquez traveled to Mexico for the first time to visit his extended family, many of whom he had never met due to travel restrictions or had not seen since their deportation from the U.S. over a decade ago.

The resulting intimate portraits are interspersed with artifacts from his family’s archive, mining lived experiences spanning generations and nation-states to image the invisible effects of U.S. immigration policies.
