Task 2: Finding a Focus

For my photographic exploration, I want to focus on the idea of portraiture in urban identity, as well as how the big atmosphere of the art environments shapes expressions for individuals there. In particular, I want to find out how organized architecture and freeform street art differ in how they portray individuals to upgrade art productions.

Architecture often represents the order in patterns, strength, and stability, while street art symbolizes limit-freeness; creativity; and individuality. I want to show how these opposing forces live in urban settings by combining aspects of each in my artwork showcasing different people. The conflict between control and freedom, uniformity and individuality, is shown in this contrast.

In conclusion, I hope to inspire viewers to think about how urban settings shape the identities of people through my photographs. For instance, whereas the urban atmosphere represents institutions or power, the street atmosphere can provide a voice to underrepresented communities. I aim to illustrate the lively relationship between color, texture, and shape and also how these components represent the cultural values of people in modern society.
