She combines her own photographs with objects found in the desert and archival footage, creating a multi-layered narrative that evokes the hardships and dangers of searching for a better life.

This saga is punctuated by the accounts of three migrants recounting their crossing, as well as a commentary by the artist. An afterword by Mexican journalist Pedro Anza illuminates the issues at stake
