Butterfly

This butterfly mural by Segundo Barrio's own son, Cimi Alvarado, represents migration and was inspired by a poem by Pavel Friedman. Alvarado has said the mural was created as a protest against the migrant detention center for children in Tornillo before President Trump's visit to El Paso in 2019. Alvarado says his work, “honors the everyday Chicanx population that strengthens border culture in El Paso.”
