The idea I wanted to portray through my self-portrait was my
identity and the influences of street culture (e.g. gangs, colours). That is
steadily being weaved into my own culture, which has become the ‘norms’. I stress on these two main
colours I have used within my portraiture, as they are crucial elements.
Adopted from the L.A. gangs of America ‘Crips’
and ‘Bloods’ is a steady term used in some ways to identify certain
ethnicity groups in my community.
The black silhouettes represent a struggle between both
cultures. The adopted street culture and the culture I have been brought up in.
