After receiving the word of “lens”, immediately a camera lens came to mind, and this led me to think about my family and culture. Leaning into that cultural lens, I wanted to depict what a Blak lens looks like in my perspective.

The inner circle is the Blak lens and bursting from that is black, yellow and red to represent culture – spreading out over the dull, blurred background. Surrounding are three warped circles, to reference the many different lenses that you can look through. However, I believe focussing your lens on a cultural scope is life-enhancing and much more fulfilling, and I left them blank and lifeless to show this.
