Teenage Fever, Chicgao’s Westside 2024

I love making images showing the intensity of adolescence alongside the many forms of love I witness every day - romantic, friendship, and the deep care that holds the community together.

Memphis, TN 2025

Found this old treehouse in Memphis. A quiet reminder of the worlds we build as kids, and how they linger long after we’ve grown.

Today in Little Village, community members and local leaders came together after Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino threatened to send agents back into the neighborhood.

What really struck me was the strength and determination I saw in that crowd. In a moment that could have felt hopeless, people showed up with courage, love, and a fierce commitment to protect their home. They’re not running. They’re not backing down.

Instead, they’re taking their fight right to the streets, standing up to intimidation, and showing what it means to defend a community. Watching this kind of unity in action, it’s a reminder that even in the face of fear, people can come together and create real power.
