This photograph is from the recent book 'Sin Salida' by @tariqzaidiphoto. In this book, Tariq documents the impacts of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha gang (MS-13) and its rival Barrio 18 gang members on El Salvador. By depicting the gang members, police, prisons, murder sites, funerals, and the government’s war against the gangs, Zaidi illustrates the control the gangs have over the wider Salvadoran society, the violence through which they operate and the grief and loss resulting from the violence. Tariq was interviewed by @publico.pt about his work on this project - you can read the interview at the link in our bio.
