Insecurity…

       INSECURITY…

I always wanted to do a photo series chronicling Modern College life of Women of Color, so I think that I will really put my foot in my mouth and start to do just that. I called this piece insecurity a feeling many humans feels at one point of their life, that comes in various forms. In the context of  “college life” the insecurity I feel is the instability of the future. For years I have been subliminally told what to do;  5 years of primary school, 3 years of Middle School, 4 years of Highschool and now 4 years of College. Now my future is a blank slate, a white board where I am the author, not my parents, society or a higher being… Me… My insecurity feels like an extra layer of skin, a mask that skews my reality and paralyzes me at times. Yet I understand this feeling is a part of life, a catalyst.  Thus I liked the concept of covering their faces to exude the feeling of blindness and loneliness one feels at these crucial points of growth. 

Insecurity of Self, Future, Beauty, Love and Money… All forms of Insecurity that we must endure to make us individuals with our self defined purpose. 

What makes you insecure?
