During this period, I chose to continue planning out what I am going to do for my sustained investigation. Ms. Silverman directed me towards this artist that created the piece above, and I thought it connected to the immigration idea because to me it looks like graffiti and blood stains, a reason why many people immigrate, to escape the violence and gangs in their home country. So I was thinking I could incorporate the mixed media element in some way. I was also looking at photographs of kids that I could include in my sustained investigation. I am stuck on whether I should include a kid who is oblivious to the situation because they are protected from it by their parents, or a kid who is scared. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them. During this period I was also interviewing my mom on some things she has heard of and experienced as an immigrant. She was telling me that one of the biggest problems in Mexico right now and the reason there is so much violence is because of drug cartels, and the last picture I have attached is a photograph of messages drug dealers leave that lead to violence.
