The stark white frame of an American Southern door encloses a silent moment of masculine vulnerability against an indefinite background of darkness. My Russian husband stands naked as the subject of my portrait of a man who cannot return to his origin and grapples with a fractured identity. This photograph of my 'stranger' shows the vulnerability shared by those who live life in translation and transition. The photo strips away the comfortable idea of home, leaving only the exposed body to navigate a landscape that is haunting and uncertain.
