Fidencio is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_Arrivals\">DACA recipient<\/a><\/strong>, and has spent his life as an artist advocating for fellow undocumented residents and making gorgeous, pointed artworks about his experience living undocumented in the United States \u00a0&#8230; \u00a0<\/em><em>Some of his most poignant works are made from appropriated, painted maps.\u00a0He cuts away the &#8220;real&#8221; things the map represents- land, water, cities, people- and leaves the imagined, the drawn- roads, latitudes, boarders. Is this mud? A field to be harvested? A body of water to be crossed? Fence, net, or viscera? Every piece is meticulously cut and pinned to the wall with red map pins.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Beautiful.
