A look into Line of Breath, a sound installation by Isabella Cruz-Chong set in Tijuana, Mexico at the United States-Mexico political fence. The film depicts the fence, its breath, and personal perspectives from the community. This is an attempt to humanize the physicality of the object in order to redefine the connection between both sides.
