For decades migrants have been moving north through Latin America to find work and better life for their families in the United States. This set of photographs depicts that movement, from Guatemala, across the Suchiate River into Mexico, north via train into Chiapas and finally to the border with the United States.

The photographs were made between 2014 and 2023. The politics of immigration is always tempestuous, but for the migrants it remains a constant state of fear, nervousness, exhaustion and anticipation. This shows migration during "surges," and at times when Mexico promised a crackdown in exchange for some economic trade off with its northern neighbor.

The focus of this work is on Latin Americans that made the journey, from Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela, Guatemala, Hondouras, and Colombia. They say goodbye to family and friends in their villages and then depart on a sometimes month's long trip. The journey has become increasingly perilous with gangs and cartels preying on the vulnerable.
