Proces
This piece started with the iconic post-performance photo taken after Kendrick’s “They Not Like Us” moment — a cultural shot that already said everything. I reworked the original image, replacing the background with the White House to amplify the message of power, unity, and legacy. I played with textures, lighting, and color grading to give it a raw, cinematic feel, then layered in additional imagery of Kendrick to emphasize his influence. The final result is gritty, loud, and unapologetically about us — the people, the moment, the message.
