Three years before I started this work, Gonzalez crossed the Darién Gap, having left his family behind. After settling in San Antonio in October 2024, he got sponsored by an American skate brand, found work as a food delivery driver, and taught skateboarding to local youth. Most of these photographs depict him alone, as he struggled to build a life in a new country without a support network. The images depict the emotional cost of migration: missed birthdays, funerals, and everyday moments with loved ones left behind. He plans to fight to stay in the country; I have started a GoFundMe to help with his legal costs.
