As We Speak, the third book by Maura Sullivan, is an intimate conversation between her and her subjects. Characterized by their analog grain, the images create an atmospheric narrative that transports viewers to a world where stories unfold with each page turn.
These photographs were born in small apartments, on rooftops, in the streets during travels, and in hidden escapes where Sullivan and her subjects sought to connect. Begging and borrowing light and time, the photographer and the subject made these images that offer a window into dreams, the past, and the unspoken. In these stolen moments lives a freedom and soulfulness that resonates within us all.
