Garden of Eden

Christina Yao

About this work

Near or Far is an ongoing portrait series that explores the negotiations of power, trust, and communication in intimate relationships. I work closely with friends from diverse backgrounds, nationalities and sexual identities to create fictional, yet emotionally resonant narratives grounded in real stories. By listening, observing, and co-creating with each subject, I offer space for vulnerability and reflection — both for those I photograph and for those who engage with the work. I see this series not only as a form of introspection but also as a way to consider how our inner landscapes shape our external relationships.
