Observed under thorough scrutiny

The overall theme of this piece revolves around paying attention to the fine details of a part of something. Too often beauty gets overlooked for things deemed more important in the larger picture. Acknowledging the proverbial trees through the forest is important. This relates to the themes of ” Culture, Metamorphosis, Identity, and Social justice, ” because all of those have historically and systematically either been ignored or attempted to be extinguished in contrast with the aesthetics of the majority. Simply through being noticed, culture and identity prevail and provide opportunities for growth. This piece highlights details from a culture often dismissed as a part of urban blight. Really though, it’s whatever you want it to be.
