An intimate reflection has been my latest series of portraits influenced by African art and Caribbean culture. My focus is the simplification of the form to create a representation. In past works, I inserted masks as representations to create identity barriers. This idea is inversely explore in my new work. Masks possess the qualities of being protective devices for either a living organism or a myth. The gathering of this representation is a reflection formulated around my life experiences. I amplify my moral and emotional concerns by designing a drawing cluster inspired by ecclesiastic designs that impacted me during my formative years.
