PHOTOBOOK



Homes Against Tides


2018
Self-published photobook
Saddle-stitched, color laser print on matte paper
8.25 x 10.75 in

Edition of 10 

Description: The photobook features a series of images taken in the south of Thailand, studying the delicate patterns produced by Indo-Pacific sand bubbler crabs as they dig for food and discard sand in mesmerizing patterns. The book dwells on the persistent, Sisyphean cycle of the crabs, whose evidence of a day’s work is washed away at high tide daily.
