Without Them
Human Rights
This shows the vital role immigrant labor plays in sustaining the U.S. economy, with a focus on agriculture. By imagining a future where these workers are absent, it reveals the human and economic consequences of their disappearance, fields left to rot, systems strained, and industries disrupted. Rooted in human rights and economic justice, the project challenges the narrative that immigrants take jobs, instead highlighting their essential contributions and the invisible labor that supports everyday life.
