My work is used to express my feelings of being out of place and isolated while attending UNCW. The African American culture that I loved growing up in and being around is not present. My work focuses on the environments I feel out of place in given my race. My goal is to capture my feelings of isolation, seclusion and discomfort by photographing myself in these environments. These photographic settings include classrooms, hallways, walkways and lounge areas throughout school allowing me to explore this sense of otherness.
