ZENZALI LAEL
Zen’s work explores different aspects of the human condition within marginalized communities. Their delicate interplay between light, emotion, and narrative, aims to elevate stories and beauty not recognized in mainstream culture. Through portraiture, environment, & photo-documentation digital and 120 film photographs and digital collages, Zen’s work brings people closer from all walks of life to share that we all exist as the universe experiencing itself through billions of experiences simultaneously. Individualism, greed, and selfishness are the killers of humanity. The point of every project is to see the subjects as oneself. Understand that we’re all human and worthy of love, connection, and hope. "Love is not just a verb it's you looking in the mirror" (K.Dot). Photography is my mirror. The closer I get to my subjects, the closer I am to myself, and thus the grand cosmic connection.
