A great loss of potential exists when immigrants are kept out in mass in a First World country.
An endless list of innumerable immigrants of all hues have contributed as leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, thinkers, pioneers, and so on to the development of modern societies. How would these societies be affected if this endless list of immigrants had been denied entry?

The foundation to this segment of “Reality & Imagination” is driven by the possibility of ‘loss potential’ when immigrants are refused legal entry. It is also an attempt to bring attention to the risk of such blanket policies.
From the mix of the tide and sand, to the silhouette and shadow of the previous segments, to the marriage of Printmaking and Photography in this segment, there is always this duality that’s present—and what’s created is always greater than its parts.
The merging in this segment of the two different mediums: printmaking techniques and photography is an expansion on the idea of the two cultures. The end result is neither a photograph nor printmaking, but fluidly both. This fluidity combined with the image title will, I hope, give a greater sense of who an immigrant is and what is possibly loss in keeping them away.
These images are a combination of Photography and Printmaking.
