Exploring themes of power and identity, the photographs in Empire adopt a visual strategy that examines the dynamics of control embedded in cultural and social structures. The work’s approach engages with notions of dominance and subjugation, reflecting on the complex legacy of imperial influence.

Comprising 188 pages, the 2014 publication by Rutgers University Press carefully assembles images that prompt reflection on historical and contemporary manifestations of empire. The mood carries a critical weight, inviting viewers to consider the visual traces left by authority and resistance within varied contexts.
