'Death of the Inevitable Absent'
Artist: Soraya Page
Media: Acrylic on wood.

Soraya Page is a Year 12 student at Matthew Flinders Anglican College where she attends on a dual athletics and academic sholarship.

She writes: 'Racial stereotypes of black people in the media has been the cause of the inevitable absence of those who exist outside these lines for many years. The uprising of underground charisma, such as neo-soul artist Jesse Boykins has caused 'indie' black figures to become more recognised in mainstream media. This is what I like to refer to as the 'death of the inevitable absent'. In my piece of the same title, I have depicted Jesse Boykins coming into the spotlight, by merging him into the blue lines of mainstream media.
