"Branded"
Graphite Drawing
9”x12”
Branded on the literal scheme of things is someone getting a fade done, just another person on another day contributing to what they are “there to do”. I was one made out of frustration; the idea of being constantly seen as simply a statistic of society. Another number to contribute to a mission that doesn’t aid us. A closer look shows the tattoo of the barber with the acronym C.R.E.A.M (Cash Rules Everything Around Me), and that is the literal meaning behind “Branded” the barcode may not be physically visible but our desire to serve the dollar is. The concept and ideology of money has trapped us in a system of efficiency, stagnancy of our dreams, and removal of our own personal purpose and destiny.
