"These photographs are an exploration of my heritage and the fast-evolving
culture of the Khampa people. Over multiple trips, spanning the past two
decades, I have documented family, friends and the struggles and celebrations
of the wider community of Tibetan people living in Kham.
Deeply aware of the visual tropes used by foreign photographers,
depicting Tibetans as 'foreign' or ‘other’, I hope that my work employs a
sensibility which comes from my connection to the community, a community
which, to me, is familiar."
