In
an attempt
to capture the
everyday struggle of
Black people and the dual
existence within us, we at Paine
Artistry present 'From Another Planet',
the first installment from our campaign ENTITLED BODYxARTxSOUL. These photographs are an
artistic juxtaposition of how we as
Black people are seen by others,
versus how we see
ourselves in this
world.
TWO
SOULS
TWO
THOUGHTS
TWO UNRECONCILED
STRIVINGS
TWO WARRING IDEALS
IN ONE DARK BODY
"I
was
on a
journey
of self
discovery
then, and I
still am now."
"I
was the one
who chose to spare
her the heartache of me not being ready to commit to
only her"
"I'm
probably
closer than
I've ever been
to
discovering my purpose"
TWO
FORMER
LOVERS,
SEPARATED BY
ORDINARY
STRUGGLES, ARE
UNITED BY
EXTRAORDINARY YET
COMMONLY UNFORTUNATE
CIRCUMSTANCES
"THEY MUST BE
CONSCIOUS OF HOW
THEY VIEW
THEMSELVES,
AS WELL AS BEING
CONSCIOUS OF
HOW THE
WORLD VIEWS
THEM"
"I AM
BONE OF
BONE
FLESH
OF
FLESH
OF
THOSE
WHO LIVE
IN
THE
VEIL"
​
"WE ARE
CAPTURED
BORN INTO A
WORLD THAT DEFINES
ITSELF IN
OPPOSITION
TO US"
"A HEALTHY BODY EQUALS
STRENGTH REGARDLESS
OF THE TYPE OF BODY, IT
REQUIRES A COLLECTIVE
GOAL OF SUCCESS"
"NO MATTER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
BETWEEN US, I WOULD
STAND BESIDE HIM"
"IT'S YOUR COUNTRY,
IT'S YOUR BODY
AND YOU
HAVE TO
FIND SOME
WAY TO LIVE
WITHIN THE
ALL OF IT"
