I thought the artwork was very powerful and moving. It's amazing to see such a beautiful work of art that is the collection of so many people's thoughts and emotions, expressed in such a way that cannot be ignored.

It inspired me to both get involved and artistically express myself. Innovative way of using art to challenge people's thinking on relevant issue. The US has always been a land of immigrants.
