EXPOSED is a non-linear sequence of images operating in the space between light and shadow. It rejects linear storytelling in favor of an intuitive layering of themes, moving toward a point where language ceases and visual truth emerges. There is no explication; the images are left alone to "expose" their own meaning to the viewer. (EXPOSED has been submitted for the LensCulture Photobook Prize 2026 Submission)
Notes:
EXPOSED functions as the structural conclusion (Chapter 9) of a broader, long-form book project; additional imagery can be integrated during the final publication design phase with Nazraeli Press. To protect the non-linear cadence of the sequence, there is no explanatory prose.
Minimal translations for environmental text (French, Thai, and a localized English graffiti note) on three plates are below
PLATE 8
Translation of French environmental text on a 1977 election campaign poster (Zaire / DRC): "WE DON’T SEE THE IMPORTANCE OF GOING TO THE BALLOT BOX CITIZEN MOBUTU. WE ARE ALWAYS BEHIND YOU AND NO ONE IS UNAWARE OF ALL THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE."
PLATE 9
Contextual analysis of English environmental graffiti: "I’M BLACK, FUCK MOB, FUCK RED" refers directly to the shadowy "men in black" tactical forces and the Red Shirt democracy movement during the Bangkok demonstrations (May–June 2010); it is entirely distinct from racial context.
PLATE 11
Translation of Thai environmental text (left image panel): "MOTORBIKE REPAIR".
Really interesting work and some really nice shots in there. I love longform work like this and I would definitely be interested to see more of it. One note of feedback it did seem like YouTube was maybe compressing the files a ton some of them showed up kind of pixelated.
