Portfolios > Stamps/Timbres

A series of drawings with a postage stamp motif serve as a black joke. They are imaginary means to tax illicit shipments moving across the border: guns and money move south, drugs and cheap labor move north. The stamps also commemorate moments, circumstances and individuals all along the frontera.
