Pass [puertos], A Journey Inscribed by Sandra C. Fernández

"In ‘Pass [puertos], A Journey Inscribed,’ I delve into the deeply personal and transformative journey of my mother's migration from Ecuador to the United States in the mid-sixties. This work focuses on the symbolic and literal significance of her passport, an artifact marking the beginning of my family's odyssey and the intricate web of choices shaping our destiny. Her decision, though seemingly singular, set the course for generations to come, weaving a complex narrative of identity, belonging, and resilience.
"Through this piece, I aim to capture the essence of her journey - the hopes and fears, the losses and gains, and the enduring impact of her migration. Each section of the book reflects on the emotional and psychological landscapes navigated along the way.
"'Pass [puertos], A Journey Inscribed' invites viewers to contemplate broader themes of migration, destiny, and the invisible threads connecting us to our past and future. It is a homage to my mother's bravery and a reflection on how the choices of one generation reverberate through the lives of those that follow." - Sandra Fernández
