The projectinitiated by a professor of architecture at UC Berkeley, Ronald Real depictschildren on either side of the border wall seesawing with each other in hisbook 'Borderwall as Architecture- A Manifesto for the U.S-Mexico Boundary.'

Real took to Instagram saying that, "One of the most incredible experiences of my  and Virginia San Fratello'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 borderwall."

Severalvideos and photos of children and adults have been installed by the twocreators on either side of the wall playing together as if the seesaw was on anormal playground. Instead, they were separated by giant slats that divide thetwo countries on the southern border of the U.S.

Real,in an Instagram post said that the wall had become a literal fulcrum for U.S.Mexico relations and children and adults were connected in meaningful ways onboth sides with the recognition that the actions that take place on one sidehave a direct consequence on the other side.

Mexicanentertainer Mauricio Martinez, however, said that the seesaws were a beautifulreminder that they are connected and what happens on one side impacts theother.
