About The Book

This 22-page photo book delves into dialectics—the synthesis of opposites—through vivid contrasts between day and night, captured in Polaroids that are split and stapled together to depict a single scene with dual lighting. (View entire series here). By juxtaposing the warm, bustling energy of daytime with the cool serenity of night, the work explores the tension between work-driven life and the overlooked beauty of creativity and reflection. These Polaroids critique capitalist ideals while simultaneously calling attention to today’s pressing ecological crises.

Each composition captures the contradictions of a world where productivity is prioritized over creativity, and climate change polarizes weather patterns. In my work, I reflect on global ecological catastrophes. The Day vs. Night Juxtapositions series shows lightning in the sky and desert-scapes where such extremes shouldn’t exist. It’s a subtle commentary on how we’ve arrived at this state.

A standout piece, "Contour", featuring the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, has been permanently archived at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), attesting to the series’ cultural and artistic significance.

Through each paired image, I hope to inspire viewers to see that where there is darkness, light can still be found. 

Twenty percent of proceeds from this book will be donated to 1t.org  to support its mission to restore and grow a trillion trees by 2030 in the fight against climate change.

Comes with a surprise Day vs. Night Juxtaposition archival print.
