The Percivals 2026

About the Artwork

Photography is a ritual road for personal transformation and survival through the deeply complex and personal journey of grieving. Together, we were finally ready to leave the brutal roots and memories of our home-town stories behind on the dusty roads of time.

Le cadavre exquis boira le vin nouveau—”The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine.”
