This bold letterpress print overlays large, transparent typographic layers onto a New York Times article from April 12, 2024, about a migrant aid camp near Campo, California. Words like “CAUTION,” “MISEDUCATION,” and “DISINFORNATION” dominate the page, obscuring the underlying photo essay and headlines. Through this visual intervention, the piece critiques how media shapes public perception—particularly around migration—by highlighting distortion, bias, and the dehumanizing effects of alarmist language. Visually powerful and politically charged, it uses printmaking to question authority and call for truth and compassion in storytelling.
