Samosa

Samosa is the online moniker of a blogger I read, and a friend that I attended University with. She’s an incredibly vibrant writer and poet, and has an incredibly unique perspective on the world, as hers is one that is that of an immigrant, a woman caught between two worlds – someone who struggles with her identity and sexuality in-between two value systems that are not easily resolved to one another.

While I was experiencing some downtime at work, I started undertaking this art piece, which I think turned out remarkably well. It’s almost done entirely in Illustrator, with final touches to color and light in Photoshop.
