In This photographic series stages a paradoxical inversion of the colonial gaze. Drawing on the iconography of classical paintings — where emissaries from distant lands bring tributes to the peoples they would soon subjugate — the work reframes the narrative of conqueror and conquered. Here, those once portrayed as “primitive” emerge as advanced and futuristic civilizations, while the European conquerors appear as figures tethered to a distant past.
Set in a landscape that seems wild and untamed, subtle traces of technological civilization pierce the scene, disrupting temporal and historical boundaries. In this charged encounter, power is no longer a fixed axis but a shifting terrain, and the act of conquest is exposed as a complex choreography of desire, domination, projection, and reversal. The result is a visual reflection on how history is written — and how it might be rewritten — when the gaze itself is decolonized.
Each piece is printed on Hahnemühle fine art cotton paper of the highest quality and durability, using Epson UltraChrome pigmented inks renowned for their exceptional longevity — lasting up to 300 years under proper conditions.
