| dc.description.abstract | Throughout my research, I have been researching how to express the ways in which environment, culture and society make an impact both internally and externally. Powerful cultural, political, and socio-economic forces shape identity and determine morals, values and ultimately the trajectory of one’s life. Inspired by the world around me and my experience in life both past and present, I use things witnessed both as a kid and as a young adult, where self-survival is everything, and the struggle I endured, as inspiration. My work is a means to express my understanding of how life is from the experience of the culture into which I was born and to bring awareness to the struggle to survive at the bottom. Experiences in my formative years generated a desire to make work that can be a voice for the people who do not have one, the people who are struggling to survive in this world and can relate with this story of living a life with little control over circumstances. Survival and success is a game but not everyone can play. | en_US |
