My concentration is filled with symbols showing who I am in different aspects. Most of my pieces show sides of myself. Growing up I’ve been able to create my own thoughts and beliefs. The different aspects of my life all have a lingering effect, always hovering over me. My first piece focuses on me being a simple, innocent figure but having colorful factors surrounding me. Each factor has a designated color; yellow for religion, red for family, green for friends and blue for education, all bright colors showing their importance. I’ve depicted myself as a white stick figure with no real distinguishing features because the focus isn’t on the features but the other elements surrounding the figure. I’ve always been a person who is considered cultured by representing both my nationality and heritage. Some of my pieces show the parallel I have between these 2 cultures. As I’ve gotten older I’ve been dancing in both modern Hip Hop and Indian. I use the traditional Indian dancing anklets and my favorite shoes as symbols of the harmony and unity of the dances. Essentially all of these aspects are morphing me, following me as I grow into the person I will eventually be. This concentration is very personal to me because people don’t understand the difficulty I have figuring out who I'm supposed to be; American or Indian?
