From 2000-2004 he created an insider's look into the Armenian Community of Los Angeles: a mirror held up to his own community. Oshagan grew up in Beirut in an insular Armenian family but came of age in America, representing multiculturalism to its core: experiencing identity as something amorphous, as a process realized in the in-between spaces rather than something so straightforwardly advertised as 'globalization'. His classical, black and white approach is the result of a passage between the various cultures and languages that Oshagan grew up with. He and his work are neither here nor there.
