Claudia Bernardi is an internationally known artist who works in the fields of art, human rights and social justice. In her work over the past two decades, she has used creative works to lend a voice to anonymous sufferers of political turmoil. This piece is part of a series of prints created in effort to call attention to the rampant drug wars and hundreds of senseless deaths of women and children in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
