'Back to Nowhere' reinterprets the Minotaur myth through the artist’s deeply personal perspective of his island, photographed between 2009 and 2017. As a place he can never see through a stranger’s eyes, the island becomes a labyrinth of memory and identity. In contrast, its twin book, 'Warn’d in Vain' (2014–2017), explores New York City—the world’s most photographed metropolis—through the lens of an outsider, embodying a stranger’s disoriented question mark. Together, these books juxtapose the known and the unknown, personal and foreign landscapes, using myth as a framework to examine perception, place, and belonging.
