Challenges
The project emerged in a context of heightened political polarization, media distortion, and social fragmentation. Many voices and lived experiences are overlooked, simplified, or silenced in mainstream narratives. The challenge was to create a platform that respects nuance and human complexity without reducing stories to stereotypes.
Approach & Method
Portrait Photography
Large-scale portraits of individuals in their environments to convey presence, context, and character.
Oral Histories
First-person narratives collected in interviews to give voice to fears, hopes, conflicts, and everyday realities.
Outcome & Impact
The photobook provoked reflections among readers and brought visibility to underrepresented experiences. It fosters empathy and a deeper understanding of social divides, and serves as a visual counterbalance to dominant media frames.
