In mentality or literally, the $16 per hour IMMI still represents the hood. Having a pay check that covers his expenses is enough to satisfy him, and saving is something rich people do, so why worry about it? The purpose of this painting is to convey the moods and emotions of a person who finds happiness in every moment, regardless of whether they shoot for greatness or not. Whether his way of life is right or wrong doesn't matter as long as he is happy. I dig that.

The word IMMI refers to Immigrants. When I started High School in New Jersey, my first days I noticed that some classmates called the ESL kids "the immis". I guess IMMI is cooler than immigrant. The aim of this series is to portray IMMIs in every stage of their journey abroad.

To understand one can always be better is a remarkable feat every one of us has the opportunity to experience. Some choose to find the limits of greatness and some are comfortable in the situation they currently are. No judgement here, just assessment.
The $20 per hour IMMI knows minimum wage, he's seen how low it can get. However, he's also seen opportunity, progress, growth. His mind is a bit turbulent but his will is strong. $20 per hour seems low but it's a step above the minimum and that matters to him. He understand the game now and knows that it is up to him to keep on increasing that number.

The $40/hr IMMI got it going on. He feeling good about himself and enjoys a sense of freedom he desired for a long time. Hundred dollar shopping sprees, he got that.

This fella' has the opportunity to live his life any way he can, and it can go both ways. This time he chose self-awareness and introspection and uses every tool at his disposal to keep true to himself. In his spare time, he thinks about what would happened if ego and fear ran his life. Then he looks around him and realizes he made the right choice, and the world is better for it.
