"I'm showing humanity, and the hope in humanity. The growth through struggle," says Los Angeles-based artist Daniel Gibson as he takes ICA Miami through the California desert to the US-Mexico border. This video, like Gibson's work, reflects on the perils of migration, and the humanity of representation.
"We Are Just Flowers: Daniel Gibson, Painting, and Migration" is the first film created on the occasion of the exhibition "Fire Figure Fantasy: Selections from ICA Miami's Collection."
