Chanell Stone writes, “Driven by a profound yearning to trace, locate and connect with my ancestral origins and beginnings, I devoted myself to making in the Deep South – in what felt like a familiar first and soon became a multi-year dance between returning while arriving.

This sculptural, audio-visual installation replicates a section of the US/Mexico International Border Wall composed of a faux concrete base containing hidden speakers and two projectors. The installation presents a looping 13-min audio of two violinists, one Mexican and one American with the border wall dividing them while they play the same original musical score, the music notes of which can be seen projected on the grey poles of the sculpture. This piece illustrates that the language of music unites and transcends political borders and cultural divides.
