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.
