Nikki S. Lee — The Skateboard Project #15
Nikki S. Lee

The Skateboard Project #15

In *The Skateboard Project #15*, Nikki S. Lee seamlessly inserts herself into the subculture of skateboarders, adopting the group's style, attitude, and environment to blur the boundaries between observer and participant. The work is part of her broader "Projects" series, in which she immerses herself in distinct social communities and documents her assimilation through candid-style photography. Printed as a vibrant dye destruction print and flush-mounted, the image carries a snapshot-like authenticity that challenges notions of identity, belonging, and the performative nature of the self.

Medium
Dye destruction print, flush-mounted.
