Bangladeshi Girl

 Bangladeshi Girl by Cosmo Sarson.  Hanbury Street, East London.

"There’s a strange dichotomy down brick lane, where the art is like some kind of white middle class cultural invasion pushing itself on to what is obviously a tight knit Bangladeshi community and I felt that needed redressing somehow. It’s a portrait of a Bangladeshi girl in front of broken glass and layered graff marks. She represents the local Bangladeshi community, the broken glass and mark making are symbolic of urban decay."  -interview with the artist and Little London Observationist.
