Photography
14 × 11 inches
This documentary photograph reflects Violette Bule’s ongoing exploration of displacement, identity, and systems of power. For the past eleven years, she has traveled across the United States with a camera, capturing the country in fragments—thousands of images born from long roads, stillness, and unexpected beauty. Through a lens grounded in social inquiry, Bule engages with communities and contested spaces, documenting the emotional and political dimensions of migration and belonging. Her images resist neutrality: each scene exposes a layered reality shaped by historical tension, cultural resilience, and the quiet force of human presence.
