publisher FRIENDS EDITIONS<\/p>\n<p>The book captures life at the Lee Espinoza Coachella Valley Boxing Club in a portrait of legacy, community, and resilience that goes beyond the sport<\/p>\n<p>Priced at $60, the release is limited to an edition of 200<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>The space between a ring<span>\u2019<\/span>s ropes contains a world. In his new book, Los Angeles-based photographer Darren Vargas captures life at the Lee Espinoza Coachella Valley Boxing Club, a community-led non-profit in Southern California. <em>Moret\u00f3n<\/em>, <span>\u2018<\/span>bruise<span>\u2019<\/span> in Spanish, chronicles not just sport but the legacy, resilience, and people who make a place a home.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Espinoza, locally known as the \u201cgodfather of boxing,\u201d founded the gym in the 1980s and, decades later, continues to operate it for the public free of charge. It<span>\u2019<\/span>s a testament to Espinoza<span>\u2019<\/span>s dedication to his community, as seen through the generations that have gone on to succeed both in and out of the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis place does not just hold meaning for me; it holds legacy. One of the immigrants is building something for themselves, for their community, and their families,\u201d Vargas wrote. \u201cTo me, Coachella Valley is a representation of what it is to make it from nothing and still build everything around you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop

publisher FRIENDS EDITIONS<\/p>\n<p>The book captures life at the Lee Espinoza Coachella Valley Boxing Club in a portrait of legacy, community, and resilience that goes beyond the sport<\/p>\n<p>Priced at $60, the release is limited to an edition of 200<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>The space between a ring<span>\u2019<\/span>s ropes contains a world. In his new book, Los Angeles-based photographer Darren Vargas captures life at the Lee Espinoza Coachella Valley Boxing Club, a community-led non-profit in Southern California. <em>Moret\u00f3n<\/em>, <span>\u2018<\/span>bruise<span>\u2019<\/span> in Spanish, chronicles not just sport but the legacy, resilience, and people who make a place a home.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Espinoza, locally known as the \u201cgodfather of boxing,\u201d founded the gym in the 1980s and, decades later, continues to operate it for the public free of charge. It<span>\u2019<\/span>s a testament to Espinoza<span>\u2019<\/span>s dedication to his community, as seen through the generations that have gone on to succeed both in and out of the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis place does not just hold meaning for me; it holds legacy. One of the immigrants is building something for themselves, for their community, and their families,\u201d Vargas wrote. \u201cTo me, Coachella Valley is a representation of what it is to make it from nothing and still build everything around you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop

Growing up, Vargas and his brothers spent their summers with their grandparents in the Coachella Valley, and, in many ways, he saw Esmael in Espinoza. With much left unsaid after his grandfather<span>\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0passing, the artist found solace in the sport <span>\u2014 <\/span>how it brings kids together from all over the desert to build one another up, reconciling and finding forgiveness with each other and themselves.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The project] is a response to struggle and hardship but finding ways to still give back.

In his new book, Los Angeles-based photographer Darren Vargas captures life at the Lee Espinoza Coachella Valley Boxing Club, a community-led non-profit in Southern California. <em>Moret\u00f3n<\/em>, <span>\u2018<\/span>bruise<span>\u2019<\/span> in Spanish, chronicles not just sport but the legacy, resilience, and people who make a place a home.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Espinoza, locally known as the \u201cgodfather of boxing,\u201d founded the gym in the 1980s and, decades later, continues to operate it for the public free of charge. It<span>\u2019<\/span>s a testament to Espinoza<span>\u2019<\/span>s dedication to his community, as seen through the generations that have gone on to succeed both in and out of the ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis place does not just hold meaning for me; it holds legacy. One of the immigrants is building something for themselves, for their community, and their families,\u201d Vargas wrote. \u201cTo me, Coachella Valley is a representation of what it is to make it from nothing and still build everything around you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-slider before-booted full-screen-enabled light\" data-width=\"100%\" data-animate=\"slide\" data-slideshow data-loop
