I AM > I WAS (2023).
This photo series is meant to highlight people going through a transformation after an internal struggle. The notion is simple. Your present self will always be greater than your past self as your learn, analyze and adapt from all the mistakes, lessons and memories you have experienced already. The first edition of this photo project involves two of my friends who I consider mentors and myself.
Kobe.
Trying to find peace through it all.
”Becoming more of the individual I’m meant to be through the sum of my experiences. Good or bad, it was all meant for me.”
Antonio.
Everything, in time.
“Prioritizing my truth over others perception of me. Observing instead of engaging judgement of others and myself. Putting out positive vibes without any expectation or attachment to what comes.”
ZNA.
Self Made: Purpose and legacy
”I am is definitely greater than I was. Through the fire, I have grown immeasurably. I'm still not the athlete or artist I know I can be but the best is yet to come. Thankful for understanding that it'll never be easier but that the grind will always be greater.”
