Fish

I went back to my home state of Texas earlier this year to meet Fish Fiorucci. Fish is a Brownsville native who moved back home after traveling the world as a successful model and started a mostly queer BIPOC modeling agency in the border town of Brownsville, Texas. They’ve been an active member of this town which also shares the headquarters of Space X. They wanted to give back to their community and provide a space where they can offer opportunities and advice to people from Brownsville; a space that is currently experiencing a lot of outsider change. I think it was important for me to document what Fish was doing through this series and I was lucky enough to get a space here in Los Angeles at SADE Gallery to showcase their work in Texas. The series depicts my weekend spent with Fish and their friends from Brownsville, Saul and Caleb (also pictured) who they have also signed to their modeling agency, f10.
