Artist statement
Ten portraits of ten people this is what I captured; if I were a simplistic person. The people I choose all meant something to me. They weren't just random people chosen for no reason. All the people I captured left an impact on my now thinking.
Harmony Korine, captured inner city life of 90s teenagers leaving me shocked at the identicalness of today's youth. Lee Daniels left me grateful of my privileged. Beyonce Knowles taught me to embrace my culture. Tupac Shakur taught me to love myself. Mark Zusak taught me being average is ok, Lois Lowry taught me the importance of diversity. Mimi leader taught me something little is bigger than I think, last but not least J.K Rowling taught me my imagination is valuable. Cara Delevingne taught me good looks are nothing without a good personality.
