{"product_id":"miasma","title":"miasma","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"383\" data-start=\"0\"\u003ePale Flare’s \u003cstrong data-end=\"23\" data-start=\"13\"\u003emiasma\u003c\/strong\u003e unfolds like a drifting emotion, a photobook suspended between memory, anxiety, tenderness, and dream-state observation. Built through fragments of everyday life, obscured figures, dim interiors, and emotionally charged spaces, the work resists straightforward narrative and instead moves through atmosphere, sensation, and psychological residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"828\" data-start=\"385\"\u003eRather than documenting reality directly, \u003cem data-end=\"435\" data-start=\"427\"\u003emiasma\u003c\/em\u003e operates as an internal translation of feeling. Faces are often hidden or dissolved into shadow, allowing the body itself to become symbolic, a vessel for states of isolation, longing, emotional fatigue, intimacy, or quiet disappearance. Across the sequence, Pale Flare constructs images that feel suspended between presence and absence, where silence carries as much weight as what is seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1262\" data-start=\"830\"\u003eThe title itself becomes central to understanding the work. Traditionally referring to a toxic or invisible atmosphere, “miasma” here evokes the emotional fog that lingers within contemporary life, the unspoken psychological weight that quietly accumulates through memory, loneliness, overstimulation, and human connection. The images do not attempt to explain these feelings directly; instead, they invite viewers to inhabit them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1627\" data-start=\"1264\"\u003eVisually, the book draws from cinematic pacing, internet era fragmentation, and the introspective mood often found within anime, experimental cinema, and contemporary Japanese photography. Light, texture, gesture, and negative space become emotional language. Moments feel fleeting yet deeply familiar, as though recalling dreams that cannot be fully articulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1997\" data-start=\"1629\"\u003eWhat makes \u003cem data-end=\"1648\" data-start=\"1640\"\u003emiasma\u003c\/em\u003e especially compelling is its openness. Pale Flare deliberately avoids fixed interpretation, allowing viewers to project their own emotions, memories, and uncertainties into the work. The ambiguity becomes part of the experience, less about understanding the photographs intellectually, and more about recognising something emotionally within them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2244\" data-start=\"1999\"\u003eProduced in a small edition of 100 copies, \u003cem data-end=\"2050\" data-start=\"2042\"\u003emiasma\u003c\/em\u003e feels deeply personal yet quietly universal: a photobook about the invisible emotional currents that shape how people exist, disconnect, remember, and continue moving through contemporary life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFormat: Softcover | 100 pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 176\u003cspan\u003e x 250mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e| 305g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Year: 2025 | First Edition of 100 | Signed \u0026amp; Numbered\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bad Eyes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47267792978082,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/8521\/files\/PALE01.png?v=1780555892","url":"https:\/\/zontiga.com\/products\/miasma","provider":"Zontiga","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
