The river represents the border between the United States and Mexico where many migrants cross in search of a better future. The concept also shows the struggle in reaching their dreams. The landscape painting at the center of the mural proposal represents hope through the beauty of Mexico\u2019s terrain. Especially the beauty in the artist\u2019s parents\u2019 hometown of Tiquicheo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Molina Architecture Studio at Molina High School led by Danielle Odis, teaches students skills in design through conceptual public projects like the Little Free Library. Alexander decided to incorporate the Little Free Library concept into his mural in an attempt to engage community placemaking. The design of the library is based on the concepts of migration coming from the development of the mural. Until a permanent mural takes place, the Little Free Library will introduce itself to the community at the Oak Cliff Cultural Center.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the recording the artist reads the story as it was written by his father.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:32%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/remotepyramids.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Alexander_farther_story_1-1.wav\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Father&#8217;s story<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-color is-style-dots\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:80%\">\n<p><strong>Alexander Lopez<\/strong> was born in 2002 in Dallas,Texas.
