The New York Times: "An unorthodox look . . . photographs, commissioned as artworks . . . focus on striking details."
The exhibition, curated by Haze Gallery founder Irina Rusinovich, features bold and emotionally resonant photographic works across conceptual, fashion, fine art, and documentary genres by acclaimed artists including Xiomaro, Jaina Cipriano, Zhou Yang, Lance Pressl, and Lucie Mink. Together, they trace stories of memory, loss, transformation, and identity — told through the poetic interplay of shadow and light, contrasts, silences, and the emotional pull of illumination. It’s a sensory journey through visual narratives reflecting themes of resilience, healing, rebirth — curated to be felt as much as seen.
Presented as part of the gallery’s ongoing contemporary photography series, this digital curatorial feature broadens international access and visibility for both artists and audiences. Organized into thematic chapters, the exhibition invites viewers to engage intimately with the delicate tension between darkness and illumination, chasing the invisible threads of personal and collective histories that shape the human experience.
