Resemblance

The high school students of inner city Rochester, New York resemble the race and background that I am stereotypically linked to as a Mexican-African American, however, in my adolescence I never experienced our perceived culture. Currently, as a college student, I can better relate to my subjects as we progress into the future.

These photographs reflect my gaze as an observer thinking about our upcoming struggles, opportunities, and successes; which can form an awkwardness as we make decisions for our lives.
