Altered Photograph

Saul Williams

For my text piece, I chose to do a portrait of Saul Williams using quotes from his book ",said the shotgun to the head." This book means a lot to me because the contents are based around the ideas that I hold true in my own religious beliefs. In regard to the text chosen, the decision was based mainly on aesthetic value in comparison to the wording and phrasing of Williams' writing. The decision to leave the image black and white was based mainly on the fact that the photograph of the author was rendered this way.
