Between a line/ Entre una línea

Born on one side and lived on the other, a woman a part of two countries separated by a line.  She is 93 years old. The stories of her life happened on both sides of the border, but in time, her memories and distinction of that line begin to fade. This sound and visual art piece recorded her stories, the places she remembers, and the faces she forgot. She switches amid two languages, comfortable between the both of them. She is neither American nor Mexican, yet she is both.
