Color in Tech- Hannah Willis

Description: My podcast uses inspiration from Safiya Noble’s “Algorithms of Oppression” to talk about the exclusion of black men and women from the Google search, “hairstyles”. Essentially, implying why this happens and the resolve to issues of representation in online spaces.

Hannah Willis: Selfie Project

For the pictures I had creative control over, I decided to choose growth as my overall theme. So, with the plant still being behind me and my painting of this colorful Murakami flower, represents my personality and how I perceive life. We decide to get up each day to experience life, regardless of the hues it brings, we have to grow from every experience we face.
Since my overall theme was growth, I included images of me as a kid to the right with some lighting to display my face. Then, I had two plants one being my a pothos plant and the other is unknown. The physical pictures to the right of me, and the plants to the left of me can represent a double entendre. As you can see my actual growth with your eyes with the photos of me as kid while looking at the plants to the left as a metaphor of internal growth.
This is me in August of 2021 as a 10th grader.
