【 摘 要 】

As a photographer I have made a clear choice to become a voyeur in my owncommunity. The camera lets in something that is a part of me but no longer all of me. Itreflects my past and also gives me the power to see more clearly. The camera allowsme to see structures of race and gender in my community while questioning the invisibleforces that have shaped these constructions. This process has a psychological,economical, physical and spiritual impact. There is a constant tension between the worldI live in and the world I was once entrenched in. I lived a life full of complication, a lifefilled with violence and inequality. As a photographer I am consciously detaching myselffrom this world. My world is now an academic world, one of educated privilege, and I amno longer part of the world of constant poverty. I have accepted this challenge. To leavethe world I came from, and to enter a new one that may not be accepting of my past, isequally challenging.
