Mojado - According to the US Migratory Politic Institute, from 2000 to 2005, 7 millions 178 thousand detentions were registered in the border with Mexico. The year 2000 has the highest record holding in custody 676 thousand people.
The border between Mexico and the United States is the place that Mojado (wet-back) represents. A place of exchange and collision, and inhospitable land fill with myths and realities. Can also be the way to a job opportunity, or the escape from a corrupt government, and in both ways the ticket to freedom when running from justice.
Many migrants can cross the border fulfilling dear dream and getting a better life, some as owners of their businesses and other washing dishes. Mojado is a dish rack that puts on scene this reality.
