Description
This series of photos depicts a mural that is in remembrance of those who have died attempting to cross the border. It is composed of wooden crosses painted white with the name, age, and origin of the deceased in black when it is known. These are nailed to a corrugated iron portion of the wall demarcating the U.S.-Mexican border. Police tape with the words "Crime Scene Do Not Cross" is strung in front of the crosses.
