What was your design process for this project?
I watched many videos and articles regarding racism and how it has shaped our society. This was an essential part of my process because although I will never experience racism in my lifetime, I felt I had a better understanding on the issue and how generations have passed it down. With this research, I gathered precedents to advised my process and creations. I did not want to copy any work I have seen before, but wanted to be inspired. |
