About the photographers
Camila Faraci (@faraci.cam)
This project is about equality. It is based on the principle that the entire world is composed of the same fundamental element: atoms. By extracting visual units from the world, it reflects on and questions various structures and dynamics of today’s societies.
Christian Moorman (@cdavism410)
The Sigh of History documents the human dignity of the sugar cane cutters of Guyana engaged in the disappearing and back-breaking traditional toil of their native land.
Ding Herng LEE (@dhlee_photo)
A Testimony for Dear is a long-term photographic project that traces the early years of the photographer’s nephews, captured through an intimate lens of affection, uncertainty, and time. Paired with subtle, reflective personal writings, the series becomes both a personal archive and a universal meditation on growth, love, and the act of seeing.

If Dreams Are Real, Let’s Stay Asleep explores the blurry boundary between reality and imagination. By layering fragmented memories with present moments, I create ever-changing images that reflect the fragile nature of identity and perception. The work embraces contradictions and gaps, revealing how personal history and imagination shape—and even distort—our understanding of the present moment.

Faith in Transition explores the intimate reality of the Kalash, a small indigenous community in northern Pakistan, where youth navigate religious conversion between animism and Islam.
Rungchin WU (@voyageur.tw)
I visited the metro stations of Moscow and Saint Petersburg in 2025. These stations, a legacy of the USSR, are as beautiful as palaces, yet filled with numerous Soviet political symbols which Russia has chosen to preserve, embedding them in the daily lives of its people. I found myself lost in these enigmatic spaces.

What Remains unravels the journey of a return home to Lebanon, navigating the tension between familiarity and foreignness, belonging and estrangement. Through these images, the project explores the contradictions that shape both the country and personal identity, paying tribute to a place that holds together a spirit that endures against all odds.
