he creation of this empowering piece represents a significant milestone in our commitment to promoting solidarity and support for the undocumented community. Conceived as a means to not only raise awareness but also to contribute a powerful artistic expression within the physical space of the Dream Resource Center, this project carries with it a profound sense of purpose and inclusivity.

The piece, at its core, serves as a visual representation of unity and empathy for the undocumented community, acknowledging the unique challenges and experiences that individuals within this community face. It is designed to resonate with those who interact with it, offering words of encouragement and employing terminology that is profoundly relevant to the undocumented experience. This approach goes beyond mere aesthetics, as it strives to forge a connection, impart a sense of belonging, and communicate that the Dream Resource Center is a haven of understanding and support.

Incorporated into this piece is the symbol of the monarch butterfly, a potent emblem that carries profound significance for the undocumented community. The butterfly’s transformation from a caterpillar to a beautiful, free-flying creature is often seen as a metaphor for the journey of individuals within the undocumented community as they strive for self-discovery, transformation, and freedom. This symbolism further solidifies the piece’s message of resilience, hope, and the enduring spirit of the undocumented community.

The completion of this project signifies our unwavering commitment to the principles of inclusion, social justice, and the power of art to inspire change.
