BEARING KINDNESS
2016
To the artist, there are undesirable reasons why young skateboarders act and appear rowdy. They go against order, limitations, boundaries and the social norm as they try to express themselves through skateboarding; constantly facing negative stigmas. Regardless of support, they continue to fight for their freedom of expression and choice.
Breaking Kindness narrates the struggles of youth who choose the path of skateboarding, and illustrates the emotional roller coaster journey they face.
