Resilience Series, Untitled 1. Editon of 5

The portrait photography series 'RESILIENCE' documents young Black people living in Britain following the political climate created by the Black Lives Matter movement and during a global pandemic.

It narrates a story, to convey the multiplicity of what it means to be Black. The portraits help to reflect on the world we live in, while simultaneously immortalising, celebrating and uplifting the young people captured in this series, people who may have inherited generations of racial oppression and injustice but are nonetheless thriving. The works highlight the hope that despite their history and cultural inheritance, individuals can take claim of a violent history and not succumb to it, through resilience and knowledge of Pan-african history extending long before colonialism that will continue to stretch well into the future.
