Description: The OCJF Support hive artwork The synchronicities between the bees, their dancing patterns, and pollination serve as an example of purpose through collective work. Bees are a beautiful example of collective purpose, each one of them supports their hive in different ways, they teach us to see beyond our own transcendence. Through collective action we too can affect change and support individuals and their families during traumatic times of ICE detention. We must always remember that when we all come together we can make a real difference for a family going through separation and trauma due to immigration detention.

Description: Artist: Joyce Lee Description: "Hope to Fly" depicts the difficulty and hope immigrants face when attempting to cross the border. The center portrait of the mother and daughter clutching each other with distraught expressions represents the bond within immigrant families under harsh circumstances. And the dreamy background containing a flurry of butterflies symbolizes their hopes and dreams to "fly" and escape an unsustainable environment. Immigrant detention and US policies make these dreams unrealistic and often cause these families to be separated and criminally prosecuted. It's a cruel process and there needs to be further actions to help reunite these families and ensure the freedom of detainees.

Description: Artist: Alexis Gonzalez I painted this picture as a reminder of an individual that helped me during my tough times. It is significant because there isn’t always a fighter in everyone’s corner when you are facing deportation, but I was lucky enough to have not just one fighter but a team of people. The picture on the left of the boy and his father, honors the forgotten faces of all the many families that have been torn apart by our unjust immigration courts. The picture on the right of the two lovers represents unconditional love. This love is what keeps those who have faced deportation from falling apart.
Description: Artist: Yenny Bernal It represents the migration of the monarch butterfly in North America as they go out in search of warmth and life; much like we humans do when we leave our countries dreaming of a better life when coming into the United States. The subject is a half monarch half broken heart composed of simple shapes and the colors of monarchs in nature. The broken heart is the expression of my personal experience as an immigrant living away from my immediate family in Colombia for over 20 years now and still dealing with the emotional struggles that this bring.
