Artist builds US-Mexico wall with cheese
Cosimo got fed up Trumps slogan and decided to build his own wall with cheese.
TECATE (Web Desk) - An Italian-Canadian artist, Cosimo Cavallaro, build a wall between America and Mexico with 200 blocks of 50-pound cotija cheese
Cosimo took Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” presidential campaign on his nerves when he embarked on this journey to build a US-Mexico wall but with cheese.
“All of a sudden, Trump gets elected and he keeps talking about the wall, the wall, the wall,” Cavallaro explained.
Cosimo got fed up Trump’s slogan and decided to build his own wall that will span nearly a quarter of a mile on his rented property in Tecate, California.
“This is the one that sort of made sense because we parallel that wall,” he explained. “What I love about it is there’s also a lot of context here.”
Over the next year, Cavallaro intends for the 6-foot-high and 3-foot-wide wall to rot in the scorching sun.
“That’s a physical goal. My mental goal, my spiritual goal, is that it gets into the hearts of people,” Cavallaro said. “For some reason, you don’t see the waste of money and waste of resources and also the waste of meeting someone. You know, getting to know them.”
