Lost Gangsta Crip 1991

Jim Goldberg's "Lost Gangsta Crip" (1991) is a powerful black and white photograph that captures the complexities of youth and gang culture in America. The image shows a young girl with the words "Lost Gangsta Crip" tattooed on her back, her head downcast and seemingly lost in thought. Goldberg's work is known for its intimate and often unflinching portrayal of marginalized communities, exploring themes of poverty, violence, and identity. This photograph, part of his larger series "Raised by Wolves," serves as a poignant commentary on the harsh realities faced by young people growing up in underprivileged neighborhoods.
