An Immersive Art Instillation
Justin Garcia's If These Walls Could Talk transforms the messages from the children residing in the OSF orphanages into an immersive expierience that lifts the voices of children into an echo around the gallery and, in turn, the world.
Each word, translated and backlit, is accompanied by an audio recording of the students sharing their expieiences. Through the verbalization of these experiences, people everywhere can intimately connect with their journey, bringing communities together.

These Walls Do Talk
The overall goal for this project it to bring about awareness internationally, that were all in this together. There’s an underlying pattern, an underlying voice, that's being said [and] they’re finally getting heard. They get to see that they’re making an impact, They know that they have value and if they an do, that they can do anything," Justin Garcia
At its core, this series strives to foster global awareness, emphasizing unity amidst diversity. It unveils a universal truth: we are all part of a collective expieience. Finally, these children find their voices heard, their impact recognized, and their worth affirmed. Empowered by this realization, they stand ready to conquer any challenge, inspiring audiences worldwide with their resilience and determination.
