Portfolio Example & Materials Statement
Benjamin West

I aim to document and highlight the enduring Indian wars that persist in today's digital landscape. As an urban indigenous individual, I navigate the duality of two worlds, striving to raise awareness about ongoing indigenous rights and issues that continue to impact our communities. My creative approach combines Photography & 3D art, allowing me to convey my vision across multiple platforms.
