“I create with social awareness in mind. My work explores themes of ethnicity, poverty, equality, social taboos, diversity, racism, diaspora and a host of other social issues. The foundation for most of my creativity and muse is ‘change’. Coming from a dedication and sense of action, I believe that the words I speak and the art I create opens eyes... It questions, educates and provides a healing outlet for people to get to know themselves and society at large.” – Tribal Raine
