La Tierra Prometida is informed by the waves of migration from Latin America, driven by a history marred with broken promises, greed, and corruption. As I ripped and layered the handmade paper, I thought about the struggles and shattered dreams of so many who, like the Israelites in the Bible, embark on a perilous journey driven by a profound yearning for a better future. The promises of prosperity, security, and fulfillment echo the aspirations that fueled the Israelites' quest for the land flowing with milk and honey.
