Hay Millones de Rostros Como Este, 2012

This cartoon-like print, whose title translates to “there are millions of faces like this,” depicts a drawing of a “jornalero” or day laborer whose portrait consists of dozens of smaller faces. The faces are men and women, young and old, expressing joy, defeat, and everything in between. The raised fist in the top of the hat places the print in the context of worker and communal solidarity, making the ordinary jornalero a reflection of the unity and alliance among Latino workers throughout the nation.

Alfredo “Albur” Burgos is an illustrator/cartoonist from El Salvador.
