Adrian Burrell (b. 1990, Oakland, CA) is an Oakland-based artist and storyteller, who utilizes photography, film, and site-specific installations to delve into the intricate intersections of race, class, gender, and intergenerational dynamics. His artistic lens converges on the exploration of kinship, diasporic narratives, and the nuanced relationship between place and belonging.

Burrell's art sheds light on stories and moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, emphasizing the human experience in various parts of the world. 'Modernity Blue' features a man jumping in the air, two suitcases in hand. Through this poignant visual narrative, Burrell invites viewers to delve into the intricacies of displacement and the yearning for a sense of belonging. 'Modernity Blue' becomes a visual portal into the emotional landscape of individuals navigating the complexities of identity, heritage, and the elusive concept of home, echoing the broader experiences of those who find themselves at the intersection of modernity and the search for cultural grounding.
