Backlash: Moving from Negative to the Positive is a personal exploration, documenting stages of individual growth and the events that caused that progression.  These photographs serve as journal entries that record various insults, words (back lashes), and false ideologies that have instigated grief, yet caused reflection over the past fifteen years.  These actions have spurred notions and forced me to see myself in a different light rather than the way others and society may view me.  This collection of photographs is my way of lashing back and proclaiming my identity.
