The Brick Project is a declaration of resistance to the recent completion of additional wall along the US - Mexico border. This body of work is comprised of 452 bricks that have been transformed into sculpture – works of art that eliminate the brick’s original function as a building element used to construct walls. These bricks, one created for every mile of new wall, are meant to stand alone. They are independent and autonomous, and incapable of ever being symbols of division.

We are pleased to announce our collaboration with AL OTRO LADO, a nonprofit organization that provides holistic legal and humanitarian support to indigent refugees, deportees, and other migrants through direct, free legal services on both sides of the US-Mexico border. Studio RdM will donate 50% of sales proceeds to AL OTRO LADO for the first 25 Bricks sold through this website. For more information regarding AL OTRO LADO, please visit https://alotrolado.org. Thank you!
