A Ghetto cliché- Acceptance, especially in the face of grief, can be incredibly challenging. I've experienced this struggle for a few years now, but I’ve realized that the only thing I truly have control over is myself. It’s a difficult journey, but recognizing this has brought me a sense of peace.

SUMMER’25- A Ghetto Cliché in frame Antonio. shot this project on TMAXX 100 black and white film. It was a very personal project for me. Sometimes, when you need family the most, they don't show up. When I felt as though the world was collapsing around me, I didn't crash or spin out; I overcame.
