- About This Collection:
- Barriento’s mother, Juana, a Peruvian immigrant, illegally crossed the Mexican border into the United States at the age of 18. Her untold story is particularly relevant at this time in history. Her sacrifices, which include leaving behind her lifelong home and risking her life, were made in hope of a brighter future. This collection narrates the journey of migration, portraying the experience via shapes, techniques, textiles, and silhouettes.
