looking at these images of black males in the 90s, i notice a lot of black empowerment t-shirts and the recurring shaved side head. looking back at old photographs, i see my dad as being within this category. the way eh used to dress and style his hair definitely evidences the whole black hip hop/ empowerment era.
i like to include personal elements within my work, so that it really feels like my own - demonstrating an investment in my work. as a lot of this project is about nostalgia i think this rings even more crucial. for this reason, i would like to include some old photographs of my father where i feel he most represents a young black 90s male, adding to the overall feel and culture of my piece.
