A silver gelatin print depicting a black-and-white image of Angel Luis Jimenez explaining his eviction on the porch of his apartment. Jimenez holds a painted squared post with his proper right hand. His proper left hand is pointed, gesturing towards himself as he explains the eviction. Jimenez is wearing a solid white t-shirt. Behind him and on his proper left is a young adult in a rolled-up sweater and possibly wearing a vest. They are holding a toddler, who wears a vertical stripped shirt and pants. Behind them is the apartment building, a bricked wall with the house number [917] spray painted in white. The screen door allows the visibility of two frames inside the house. The print does not have any inscriptions on the front. The back of the print is inscribed with the photographer’s signature and alpha-numerical inscriptions from the photographer.
