Aurele Gould, photographer, and Tamanna Sohal, poet, are friends and recent collaborators exploring intimacy as a fluid, hazy portal for evolution through visual and verbal motifs of water, darkness, mystery, and incubation. CHRYSALIS is a book of photopoetry holding our separate art practices that have been in conversation over the past two-plus years. In CHRYSALIS, we explore the transitional and transformative nature of intimacy, how connection serves as a cure for a culture of detachment and isolation, and the devotion to self and community that is required to walk this mysterious path where all you can see is the next step. This book invites other people into our sequestered world which allows us to share the physicality and sensation representative of our friendship and artistry.
