Culture and Light

LEVEL 3 EXTENDED DIPLOMA IN CREATIVE PRACTICE (PHOTOGRAPHY)

The concept for my project revolves around culture and its influence on my identity. I aimed to narrate my story of growing up with the rich cultural backgrounds of my Jamaican and Mauritian families. Both cultures have instilled in me a profound sense of freedom and joy through their vibrant life, lively music, and delicious food. One of my earliest memories is of a joyful gathering with my family, surrounded by the flavours of my culture, dancing, and music. As I have grown, I realize that these experiences have contributed significantly to my happiness, with my community fostering a strong sense of belonging, and I intended to convey these roots in a fun and colourful manner.
