Above The Fold transforms newspaper front pages with portraits of children who fled their home countries and arrived in the US alone, seeking refuge. Reframing the immigration story, the work asserts the need to protect those most at risk: children.

Children’s portraits are screen printed using indigo ink onto local and national newspapers. The same photo is printed on multiple newspapers from different parts of the country, to further mask where the child may reside and to acknowledge that their plight extends beyond a particular city — in every state, there are migrant children in deportation proceedings without legal aid.
