Moses Ros-Suárez
born New York City 1958
El Reggaeton del Bachatero
2010
etching, aquatint, and chine collé on paper
Ros-Suárez's print evokes the inner turmoil of the immigrant caught between the U.S. and their homeland culture. On the left, a beehive represents the world of work and opportunity. On the right is an island paradise. The central panel depicts an immigrant with two heads facing both directions. He floats over a bridge, a hopeful sign that allows movement between both places.
