My photo “stripped” speaks to the idea of being pillaged of your identity and in this specific work; it's more closely related to race. While creating this piece, I aimed to speak about my lack of identity and how I was robbed of my culture living in a majority white-populated town. This project is a close-to-life-size self-portrait of me in my boxers, standing with a deadpan look on my face. The piece comprises 1,200 empty tea bags sewn, stapled, and safely pinned together. It was then cyanotype to give a faded but noticeable self-portrait which is seen better the further you stand from the piece. The reason I decided to use tea bags for this piece was to represent the colonization of India by Great Britain and how they stripped my ancestors of their livelihoods.
