Sister Cities Under the Sun - Acrylic Painting

Sister Cities Under the Sun continues the themes first explored in One Mile Apart, expanding on life along the U.S.–Mexico border through atmosphere, memory, and shared landscape. While One Mile Apart focused on division and contrast between two worlds existing side by side, Sister Cities Under the Sun shifts toward the emotional and cultural overlap that binds them together. Through light, color, infrastructure, and environment, the work reflects the experience of growing up in a region shaped simultaneously by separation and connection.
