From artist's statement on photographer's website: "...I made my first visit to the refugee camp of La Cieneguita in January
of 1991. In the coming years I would return numerous times to photograph in the community attempting to document the daily
life of the individuals and families that were establishing roots in Mexico. The group from Cieneguita that I was photographing
was one that had received land from the Mexican Government. It was in a dry, parched, semi-desert area, christened Nueva Libertad,
where an existing irrigation canal served as the only source of drinking water and also as the only place for bathing."
