Lighttime

New York is a shiny lure, a trick of the light, whose solid center might evaporate at the click of a button. This city either takes you and wraps you in its steely arms, or kicks you back to the sticks real quick. Gogy arrived here at 17, got wrapped, adapted fast, tapped into the grid. Everything began to click. The mission he chose was to communicate the reality of the street that raised him, and a sense of its ‘fleeting, dreamy, and hazy nature’. To let people see things in ways they are not used to seeing. ‘To show how a kid throwing a punch can be so beautiful, not just harsh and blunt. Or how the light shines on faces in the ‘hood the same way it shines on a blonde on a summer lawn´.
