This would either take a major photoshoot, l33t Photoshop Skillz, or both.
You know the famous James Dean Times Square picture? I want something like that with you. But it's the balance of the other elements that's the hard part.
I want you walking along, head down, and everything close to you in the shot is of significance and relevance to your cultural identity. People, dress, images, writing. And around that little bubble of your culture, is the loud raw Western culture trying to break in.
Either that, or it works opposite, so you're in Western dress, surrounded by Western things, and around the edges of the shot is your world.
The hardest thing with this concept is to get the visual balance so it doesn't look like you're trapped (seemingly unwillingly) in a bubble of your own culture, but instead looks like you carry that heritage with you, no matter where you are, because it's a part of you, as opposed to attached to you. If that makes sense.
