“Catch Me” captures the artist’s physical act of jumping over the American-Mexican border, transforming this simple motion into a powerful commentary on barriers, freedom, and human aspiration. As someone who comes from a country where crossing borders freely remains an unattainable dream for most, the artist connects his personal experience with the struggles faced by many Mexicans attempting to cross into the United States.

The work reflects the universality of restricted movement and the deep desire for opportunity, safety, and connection that drives people to risk their lives to cross physical and metaphorical borders. The act of jumping—a fleeting moment of defiance and hope symbolises the resilience of those who challenge these boundaries, no matter how insurmountable they seem.

Through this piece, the artist invites viewers to reflect on the complex politics of borders and migration while acknowledging the shared humanity underlying these struggles. The piece becomes not just an act of protest but also a bridge between personal and collective narratives of longing and perseverance.
