BlackPersona is piece about the fantastical place in which an identity or face is created. The idea is to have a work that seem almost alien in nature and as if the "blackness" is creating sad persona. A sort of dark Pop. The work was part of the solo showing "The Black|Grey Takeaway" in which the audience was allowed and asked to take an individual print home with them. Each image was tiled together with 4x6 prints.
