IDENTIFIERS is the first of two series that focus on an examination of the lasting disorientation, confusion and frustration that comes with being a modern-day product of a 400 year old diaspora. This series of prints attempts to demonstrate, through simple imagery, what it means and feels like to be marginalized. The visual content is also inspired by a fixation on stereotypical, exaggerated depictions of Black people (i.e. blackface, historically) which only work further to marginalize the Black community socially as well as politically. The 'Identifiers' are the features on black faces that tend to be enlarged and exaggerated in historical as well as modern, widespread depictions of Black individuals. Each piece is a traditional relief ink print made by hand, which was later scanned in and processed digitally.
