Pieces of a Man: A Journey Through Identity and Code Switching" is an ongoing self-portrait series where I explore the intricate layers of my identity. Through vibrant colors and diverse mediums, I capture my face adorned with dreadlocks and a beanie, symbolizing personal expression and cultural heritage. Each painting represents a distinct facet of my identity, reflecting the complexities of who I am and the experience of code switching in different environments. By celebrating the beauty of diversity and inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences, "Pieces of a Man" serves as a visual narrative that encourages dialogue on race, culture, and individuality, embracing the stories that define us all.
