 In this film essay narrated by the disembodied, posthumous voices of the artists’ male family members––their late father and their tío––the viewer is led on an oral history journey. Both narrators were the children of migrant laborers from Mexico, working the cotton and okra fields as sharecroppers in Navarro County, Texas. The brothers’ separate lives were both tethered to labor, from imprisonment and work as a prison farm laborer, to work in a hat factory. On a road trip, Luna tries to situate their current self within these contexts, bridging memories and inaccessible sites through simulation technology and digital renderings. 

Through the use of a privacy screen, which renders any monitor behind it completely opaque, viewers are asked to reorient their bodies to gain access to image. The inclusion of the Luna moth wings is a subtle gesture aimed at foregrounding not only the literal and theoretical action of fragmenting, obscuring, camouflaging, but also, the perverse nature of surveillance.
