"For my woodcut print concerning the topic of Housing, I chose to explore President Trump U.S. administration's destructive determination to limit access to housing opportunities sought through immigration by constructing new seg ments of border wall. In addition to denying our fellow man these opportunities, such struc tures along the U. S.-Mexico border also threaten wildlife corridors. The jaguar depicted is one of many species whose habitats are af fected. By examining the plight of these crea tures, this design seeks to comment on the re lentless lack of empathy such barriers em body."
