This body of work is an exploration of the extent of cultural appropriation and encourages a discussion about it. I give the appropriator and the appropriated the opportunity to defend themselves and create a dialogue between them, while maintaining a neutral stance myself. I am not attacking those who appropriate, merely educating and creating awareness. I’m also exploring appropriation myself, and discovering the carying degrees of it within this visual conversation.
I’d like to make this a long term exploration, with a lot more participants as a form of generation-wide debate. If you’d like to be photographed to add your point of view, please do not hesitate to pop me a message here or an email at sanaahamid@yahoo.com and we could work something out!Omgewhiteppl

My sin burdened me heavily, but when I measured it against Your Grace, O Lord, Your Forgiveness came out greater.
Im reminded of a night when someone special in my life layed rose petals across the floor that lead to me a spot where he spoke sweet things in my ear and got down on one knee. The sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. To put so much thought to making one moment as sweet as possible and making me the happiest person in the world. In that moment I was on top of the world and I was so happy and lucky and just so flabbergasted :) Its funny because none of those feeling have went away. Everything about that night is still alive, but sometimes I forget damn it lol. Sometimes we have the best thing in the world and its right in front of our face and we just simply see right through it, we forget. Man, isnt that just sad. When people forget why they ever fell in love why people grow hate for eachother instead of increasing their love for one another. Sorry this post just went from really sweet to depressing but im just settled with my relationship and I never want that to go sour and I hate to see other relationships take a bad turn. So I hope when you have the right person in your life you realize it and hold on tight, love like a baby and always show how much you care xoxo best wishes to alll you love birds!!!!
