"This continuing portrait series is inspired by conversations I’ve had with children of immigrants over the past two years. The people I met talked about their childhoods and how they defined American culture. They reflected on self-identification and the imbalance of cultural identity. And they looked at how the label "children of immigrants" affects the members of that community." - Quetzal Maucci
I chose this series and artist for she is dealing with the same issues as her subject matter, and showing the truths of how life is being a child to immigrant parents.
