FEDEXILE

FedExile is an ongoing series that features figurative depictions in chiaroscuro of first and second generation immigrants painted on used FedEx boxes. When exhibited, the boxes collectively become one site-specific installation. The boxes are often shipped around the globe, unprotected and exposed to harm. This series aims to spark a conversation on the effects of immigration and its crisis in the West.
