“The Cowboy I” is a photographic print that reimagines a cultural archetype through the lens of youth, vulnerability, and defiance. Printed on matte paper, the image resists cinematic gloss and instead embraces texture, grit, and stillness.
In Sephoti’s framing, the cowboy — long a figure of conquest, power, and performance — becomes something more intimate and complex. Stripped of myth, the figure is recast in quiet contradiction: poised yet unsettled, iconic yet tender. The matte surface intensifies this ambiguity, presenting a portrait that is both homage and interrogation.
“The Cowboy I” is not just about costuming or role-play; it is about the politics of becoming. It asks who gets to wear certain myths, who gets to be remembered, and what happens when those myths are broken open and remade.
