The powerful idea of taking down frontiers, fences, border  crossings, elements that divide us and turn  all the material from these dividers into works of art. For the last 6 years, Alexis Mendoza had been collecting material from border crossings from various locations in the world. In the series entitled  "Borderless," the artist established a connection  of  timelessness  and  emo­tional  context.  Explores  the  perspectives  around image-making in addition what is its relationship to the identity of the artist. The work oscillates between the  realms of nostalgia, poetry, or fantasy. The reality here is, as  Mendoza tries to evoke, that our journey is ultimately concrete and that the actuality of the image is palpable. -by Richard Pena
