Seeking asylum is not a crime. It is a human right.

Created in 2019 during a wave of intensified immigration crackdowns in the United States, this piece confronts a harmful narrative—that those seeking safety are criminals. It rejects that framing and re-centers a simple truth: the right to seek asylum is fundamental.

Surrounded by tangled lines that evoke systems of restriction and control, the message stands clear and unwavering. This artwork calls us to see beyond fear-based narratives and to recognize the humanity, dignity, and rights of those forced to flee.

This art print is both a correction and a commitment—to stand with those seeking refuge and to uphold human rights without exception.
