"Arrival" is a series of over 30 linocuts by Diaz, portraying immigrants and migration through his unique perspective. These narratives are based on firsthand experiences recounted by migrants and law enforcement officers who witness these events daily. The series includes stories inspired by local headlines as well as Diaz's own observations, woven together with his vivid storytelling and passion for sci-fi/fantasy.
