Meadow is a sculptural fragment of a larger story weaving together time, memory, labor, and place. Composed of green plastic produce bins gathered into a large rectangular field, the work transforms industrial agricultural materials into a furrowed landscape. The bins carry the residue of labor while also suggesting absence—what has been moved, harvested, or left unrecognized.

Echoing the geometry of American memorial pools, Meadow shifts the language of monumentality toward everyday labor and the land. It honors histories such as those of my grandparents, whose migration from Mexico to the United States was shaped by agricultural work and a relationship to land defined by movement and physical labor.

Paired with native plants and pollinators, Meadow becomes a living landscape where ancestral narratives and ecological systems converge. Human and ecological migrations unfold in parallel, shaped by necessity, adaptation, interdependence, and survival
