Juan Fuentes’ Tracks to a Home? is a deeply affecting linocut that follows a small group of migrants walking along railroad tracks toward an uncertain future. Carved with Fuentes’ signature rhythmic, expressive linework, the scene portrays figures from behind—an older man carrying bags, a woman with belongings strapped to her back, and a father carrying a young child on his shoulders. Their silhouettes move toward the horizon where the tracks split, symbolizing both possibility and risk.

The composition evokes themes of displacement, endurance, and the search for safety.
