Stigma explores visual representations of societal marginalization using intimate photographic portraits and candid street scenes. The images concentrate on moments revealing the complex intersection of identity and exclusion, emphasizing subtle gestures and expressions that convey the weight of social judgment.
The 64-page collection, published in 2009 by Simon and Schuster, employs a restrained, documentary style that avoids sensationalism, instead inviting viewers to confront the nuanced realities of those affected by stigma. The photographs are arranged to build a quiet narrative of resilience amid adversity.
