Artists are trying to break down barriers after building three pink seesaws at the US-Mexico border to allow children on either side to play with each other.
Ronald Rael, an architecture professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and Virginia San Fratello, an associate professor of design at San Jose State University, unveiled the three pink teeter-totters on Monday in an Instagram post.
"One of the most incredible experiences of my and @vasfsf's career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the border wall," Rael wrote in an Instagram post that has garnered more than 52,000 likes.
"The wall became a literal fulcrum for US – Mexico relations and children and adults were connected in meaningful ways on both sides with the recognition that the actions that take place on one side have a direct consequence on the other side," he added.
