Inside the Book
With work spanning more than ten years, Dear Love is a collection of photographs that details the artistic and emotional world of visual artist Sarah Bahbah. Many of the photographs have been globally exhibited in major art fairs and solo exhibitions, and acquired by esteemed art collectors, while others have never been shown before. Bahbah’s signature style places complicated emotions at the forefront of visually striking and often decadent tableaus. Her quasi-narrative photography series speak to those who lend their lives to love yet feel trapped between their heads and their hearts. As an independent artist, Bahbah single-handedly propelled her career, finding strength and inspiration from her personal experiences of trauma. Showcasing a unique understanding of her generation, her body of work presents a pivotal voice that champions emotional liberation and vulnerability.
Bahbah has been explicit about her use of art as a tool to process trauma and hurt. Although Bahbah’s photographs are released as a series, the individual photographs that make up each series encapsulate whole narratives within themselves. Each photograph weaves together Bahbah’s own story and fantasies. In this book, Bahbah’s work has been divided among four chapters: Dear Heart, Dear Darkness, Dear Light, and Dear Love to take readers on a journey through her intricate and creative process of using art to heal and reconcile with love. Each series featured comes with an in-depth synopsis, where Bahbah gives details behind her personal, emotional journey that lead to the creation of every photograph.
