El Camino del Quetzal

 Migration is a birthright; it is a natural act performed by humans and animals to survive. Immigrants are hard-working, brave, and courageous people who have to work much harder than the average person to adapt to new environments. This 24-page visual essay reports the journey of Gally, an undocumented immigrant, and depicts her dream of finding a better future for herself and the family she left behind in Guatemala. Through illustrations, which incorporate textures and analog-made elements, I explored different emotions that Gally experienced along her journey. Furthermore, the visual essay expresses Gally's hope and courage to achieve the American dream.
