Shot throughout 2025, The Palm, On Piru documents G-Funk and Gangster Rap artists across Piru and Blood-affiliated neighbourhoods in South Central Los Angeles, Compton, Carson and Inglewood.
Photographed on rare Kodak Aerochrome infrared film, the work uses the red and pink spectrum as both aesthetic and symbolic language to explore identity, place, spirituality and the enduring legacy of the "Red" side of West Coast Hip Hop.
