Description

A trip to Argentina introduced me to the elegance, rhythm, and emotion of the tango. Rather than documenting the dance, I wanted to capture its sense of movement. The pop-up structure allows the dancers to emerge as the book opens, suggesting the connection, tension, and fluidity that define the tango.
