10/27/03 Photobook
Excited to announce my debut self-published photobook of my personal photographic series 10/27/03.
This project was made possible with the support of the Booooooom Art & Photobook Award. This is a limited run so make sure you grab a copy!
10/27/03 is a body of work that surveys the ways in which experiential dualities can exist within the confines of a religious upbringing. Intertwining allegorical photographic imagery, this body of work uses portraiture and personal familial memorabilia to illustrate ideas about indoctrination and legacy within the black familial structure. Whether it's through visual allegories or the artist’s personal explorations of religion or family, each photographic work represents the process of rumination and memory when confronting one’s own former religious experience.
This body of work calls to question who gets to constitute the spiritual value of a Black adolescent and how growing up with stringent belief systems can influence how one's identity is formed.
