Jameela Elfaki, “Power”
“My England represented here is a diverse one, where beauty and cultures collide with tower blocks and inner city grit. To me, England is a country of juxtapositions; the clash of cultures, darkness but also beauty. This is an image of hope, strength, and positivity.
We find ourselves in the midst of exceptional times, facing an environmental crisis, a global pandemic, all the while continuously fighting against deep-rooted and institutional racism and classism within our own country. Saffiyah here represents defiance against this and a regal proudness of heritage and identity. Saffiyah Khan rising high.”
