As of 7/17/2020 I have changed to painting and have started with the same Kaupapa/theme (losing my culture and blending into the culture around me.) I am gonna be painting a lot of eyes specifically open and closed eyes to signify 'opening my eyes to a different culture' and eyes in the background signify 'people watching my every move' this shows how I feel pressured to fit into the community around me, especially since I have moved a lot in my life and have had the opportunity to experience different cultures. This board is gonna show how I lost most of my culture trying to fit into a 'white' culture, to feel valid.
The painting/sketches below are the backbones of my board and I'm gonna be working on a lot more pieces after this post.
This is a design I'm working on to put on the pieces that show the Indian culture just so it's different from the other pieces and also because this design is quite common in 'Hand arts'.
The eyes that I mentioned earlier signifying the change in culture and trying to fit in.
Sketches of Indian women and more eyes. This is loose sketches of what I want on a particular piece and what elements I want to have in said piece.
