Experience love and all of its definitions through a collection of photographs depicting its beauty and even innocence, but also its dark and painful side. “At first love is a fresh rose, but time reveals thorns,” said artist Pedro Cruz. Pedro Cruz was born in the late 1980s in Boston and grew up with the “typical life of the city kid. It consisted of public schools, train rides, busy streets & neighbors that knew my parents.” Cruz grew up in the Villa Victoria neighborhood of the South End and began his creative career through drawing. Soon, however, this led to other forms of art which include poetry and photography which he was inspired to pursue by a high school English teacher. D­­­­­­­uring his freshman year at college he “fell in love with” photography. “I realized that every picture is a point of view of my life. It is the only way I know how to stop time & save memories.”
