PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The book is photographer Tommy Kha's first published book. It contains 4 photo series along with a set of collages. Photos from different series are mixed to create an overall visual flow in the main image sequence. Each series has a different layout. The collage section has a gloss aqueous finish inspired by vintage photo books with the static clear page covers. The index lists photo information by series along with Tommy's own notes on each photo series.
The vertical belly band holds a life size Tommy mask which he often uses as a prop in his work.

Juror Comments
“The bold red cloth cover and the rather quiet gold typography seem like the perfect dichotomous set-up for Kha’s wonderful photographs that explore the Asian diaspora experience in the American South.”
