Rehi Salaam (Bait Salute)

These photographs are from a 14-hour trip I took with some incredible fishermen from Raa Atoll,
Maldives. We left at 2:30 am, and returned just before sunset. Titled ‘Masdhoni (Fishing Boat)’, this is a project that I am hoping to expand further over the next few years. In this image, one of the crew tosses whitebait (known as rehi in the Maldives) as bait for the tuna. The whitebait are kept in the boat's hull, with fresh seawater channeling through it, keeping them alive and fresh until needed.

Machine-generated imagery, future projections of a marginalised mankind. Cold technology contrasts with the warmth of physical touch, endless fields of inhospitable space. In a fragile space between these two worlds, lies a reality that no longer recognises itself. One's living space becomes an…

A visual response I sent to a friend after we had a silly, heated July 4th discussion over why I prefer tea to coffee in the morning, because he reproached me as an un-American Anglophile.
