I have illustrated in this diorama the issue of illegal immigration. Though I am not using this work to take a stand for or against this issue it continues to be a constant debate in our country. I used Legos to create a three dimensional image of immigrants jumping the border. The background drawing is my own adaptation of Diego Rivera's mural "The Agitator", which he painted at the University of Chapingo, Mexico. I chose this work because of Rivera's reknown as a mexican folk artist and his depictions of the mexican working class.
