DARLENE

When I arrived in Brazil, I opened the newspaper and there was an article about street girls. There was a picture of a beautiful girl whose name was Darlene and was 18 years old. It said in the article her dream was to become a model. I contacted the newspaper and said it would be great to shoot her so I shot her with my mom, juxtaposing the two: poor, black street girl and my mom who is rich and white. The concept was to bring life and my concerns into the work.
