This photo is in memory to my friend who was killed, Melissa Vigil. The assignment was to express a social issue that is important to me. The social issue I was trying to express was gang violence. More and more innocent people are killed by senseless gang violence and my friend was taken from her family and friends for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
I had Melissa's best friend be the model for this picture. Her tattoo was the emphasis because it was a tattoo she got in her memory. She looks sad in the picture because even though it's been almost 2 years, she'll never be the same. The words "Your mistake is my forever" is me speaking for Melissa. Although the man didn't mean to shoot her, the mistake is permanent and Melissa can never come back.
