In defiance to Trump's walls, seesaws spring up across US-Mexico border

Seesaws are seen as a reflection of the relationship between the two countries. Artists have put up art installations on the border for years.

Ciudad Juarez: Even as President Donald erected walls across the US-Mexican border to prevent the flow of immigrants, architects in defiance have placed three neon pink seesaws through the border wall in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua and the outskirts of El Paso, Texas.

Architects believe the piece is a reflection of the relationship between the two countries.

Ronald Rael, one of the architects who worked on the seesaws said, "If you do something on one side, it will have an impact on the other side. And that's what happens politically between United States and Mexico. What they do there impacts here; what they do here, it will impact there - it's the same with the seesaw."Artists have put up art installations on the border for years.Artist Ana Teresa Fernandez and others painted a section of the border fence in Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Mexico, blue in 2015 so it would blend with the sky.Two years ago, artists projected light features onto border wall prototypes at the south of San Diego.In 2017, a French artist erected a photo of a giant toddler peering over the wall near the Tecate, California, crossing.
