Esteban | FIRSTHAND: Homeless—The Migrant Experience

For Esteban Garrido, drawing his ideas on a clay flower pot or sketchbook brings him one step closer to the freedom he could only imagine seven months ago. As an artist, he seeks a physical and spiritual peace that he could not find in Morona-Santiago Ecuador. Esteban’s solo journey to the United States was prompted by his inability to make an honest living in his home country.
