Born and raised on the Caribbean island paradise of Barbados, I have been surrounded by what most people in the world consider Beauty. A beautiful tropical paradise with white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters. However, over time you notice faults and flaws. Minor cracks in the egg, only seen when held up to the light of experience. I feel very attracted to the decay, amidst the paradise. The derelict houses and factories, the faces of tragedy, in a nation with a history of ripping the children from the womb of Africa. You can find beauty and pain, and love and sorrow. I love this about my country, you can swim with sea turtles or you can enjoy the
solitude of a building forsaken on a cliff over looking the ocean. You can stumble across lonely coves by the sea, or hidden graveyards which date back to the 1600's, overgrown with vines in the middle of a forest. Theres a natural mystic flowing through the air, if you listen carefully - you will hear. :)
Art is a reflection of the self, and a reflection of society. Insight into the soul of the artist, beyond the facade of skin-deep beauty, your white picket fence, your $300 curtains. There is beauty in honesty, and honestly showing the beauty amidst the chaos and the perfection in the broken.
Art is self.
I really like this idea, it gives us insight into the soul of humanity, a cool 'fine art' type project i suppose, not really graphic design. I guess it could be called photography. http://beforeidieiwantto.org/

Some of these are hard to look at. But we need honesty.
