One of the most meaningful projects of my career was designing the exhibition book honoring Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario, recipient of the 2022 Masters Series Award at the School of Visual Arts. Conceived as both a companion to the exhibition and a lasting historical record, the book presents Addario’s uncompromising photographic coverage from Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and other conflict zones across more than two decades of reporting.

The design approach was intentionally restrained and reverential, allowing Addario’s images—at once devastating and deeply humane—to lead. Through careful pacing, typography, and image sequencing, the book underscores the emotional and ethical weight of her work, foregrounding the lived experiences of civilians, refugees, and women affected by war. The result is a publication that not only documents global conflict, but also invites sustained looking, reflection, and empathy—echoing Addario’s belief in photography as evidence, as memory, and as a catalyst for awareness and action.
