SPECIAL FOCUS: SELF PORTRAITS

The ICA Teens presents Special Focus: Self Portraits, a body of work created by teen members of the ICA program, Special Focus. Working alongside artist Feda Eid, members of the Special Focus program spent the Boston Public Schools' February break learning photography with an emphasis on portraiture. Through their time in the program, they created two bodies of work: photographs of teens from across Boston during the event, ICA Picture Day, and a series of self-portraits. Teens created unique self portraits that embodied their views on themselves that were further enhanced through digital editing software. As the members gained confidence in their skills of capturing others through photography, this specific body of work explores the vulnerability needed to be captured by a camera and the control of one's own outward identity.
