Growing up in a small rural village and being obsessed with hip hop my world has been filled with contrast, finding beauty with the mixing of textures, ideas and cultures. This self-portrait image series balances a rhythmical line between performance and fashion image. After a series of falls, leading to a series of health and lifestyle implications, I was forced to evaluate my reality. Question my view of who I am, what I believe. I am stripped of my world, I must begin the ascent to normality. The visual layouts are scrapped together, rough and raw, emulating the tone of the locations.

Dominic Watton

Growing up in a small rural village and being obsessed with hip hop and dance culture my world has been filled with contrast, finding the beauty within the tension of contradistinction the mixing of textures, ideas and cultures. Influenced by Hip-hop albums, The nocturnal, my process of creation and real-life experience. In many ways as an individual I am a walking contrast. A male dancer, in love with nature but also the culture of the streets. My work focuses on the collaboration between Fashion and dance, and how the worlds blend.
