Selected Works
In the Company of Wolves
These photographs weave Kaur’s prolonged and penetrating observation of the characters within her own family with figures from archetypal myths that were meant to sing the songs of adolescence and age: change that transforms us all.
In the Company of Wolves plays with familial figures alongside tropes like Little Red Riding Hood, girls in hooded cloaks gifted to them by their grandmothers, the color of blood and fire.
