Gene Flores: Juan Henry, el Coyote

Here is a print I picked up today from a local artist titled "Juan Henry, el Coyote". The artist is Gene Flores and my friend Emerson recommended I check  out his stall at Art in the Pearl.  

This print is from a series that blends American and Latino folklore. The image depicts people being smuggled to a destination (likely the US South West border) with the help of El Coyote or a smuggler who facilitates migration across the border.  I don't know why it appealed to me; Maybe it helped me appreciate the perils  that immigrant families face seeking a new life abroad.
