"'Commonalities' is a visual statement pertaining to common issues I have shared with family and friends in East Los Angeles and in Tujuana, Mexico. The imagery has 3 elements; the helipcopter beaming down it's (sic.) light (top left), 3 obscure figures facing one way and a directional target mark (top right). The three figures carry common religious related symbols. The fist (sic.) figure to the left has the soul (the common philosophies that search for the inner self). The second carries the Virgin Mary the most popular identity in Mexico's Catholism (sic.). The last figure carries the most communicative media the television. The target, top right gives the direction of where the figures are heading to. The helicopter beams down it's (sic.) light on middle figure the one I most relate to and is also is (sic.) a statement of the violation of privacy and the search for the undocumented." A. Urista
