The video primarily focuses on the US-Mexico border, but the idea is to inspire people to overcome barriers and re-imagine what is possible. In India, art and culture has continued to redefine perception, with imaginary boundaries, now no longer the hindrance. From sports to business, men and women, together are celebrated for their achievements on excelling in their field and have now become an inspiration to many across the world. The video tells the story of Ana Teresa Fernández's work and how she is using art to make the US-Mexico border invisible to the eye by painting part of the border fence sky blue.
