The print "War is Illegal" by Juan Fuentes powerfully conveys the devastating impact of war on families and refugees. Featuring a determined mother holding her children amidst barbed wire, the artwork starkly illustrates the fear and anguish experienced by those fleeing violence and persecution. The bold text serves as a stark reminder of the illegitimacy of war and the subsequent immigration raids, detentions, and deportations that disrupt lives and separate families. Fuentes' use of strong imagery and striking typography emphasizes the urgent need to advocate for refugee rights and to challenge the systemic injustices that force people into desperate situations.
