By Sabrina Tirvengadum Exploring Mauritian and Diasporic Complexity - This project delves into the complexities of Mauritian identity, addressing the struggle of feeling torn between cultural backgrounds. It focuses on British Mauritians' experiences of identifying as Asian, African, or British, while often feeling rejected by those societies. The project stems from a personal sense of disconnection from family heritage and culture, and aims to capture family essence through recreated Mauritian studio photos. The goal is to empower others to embrace their unique identities confidently. cultural diversity, multiculturalism, empowerment, family heritage, diasporic complexity, cultural struggle, British Mauritians, cultural rejection, personal connection, cultural detachment, visual documentation, unique identity, personal experience, heritage exploration, identity formation, Mauritian culture, family essence
