These overexposed photographs reveal the untold story of a overlooked facet of society. Fries, cats, and credit cards become the disguise for Regina Padilla Saez and 9, concealing their identities.

Regina taught herself to read and write at the age of 17; 9 entered the graffiti scene in 1991. They both turned to drugs. They lost their teeth. They meet in self-sufficiency and addiction portraying a shared struggle and a sense of defiance against social norms.

By using fashion as her force of freedom from formalities, Clers seeks to push the limits of traditional storytelling. These images, produced in collaboration with fuckyourgrillz and photographed by Alba Robbins, not only glamorize what was lost but also highlight what should never have gone missing. The outcome dares us to question what we consume and the stereotypes we subscribe to.
