THE GHOST SELF

PHOTOGRAPHY AND STORY BY

BUKU SARKAR

Buku Sarkar stages her refusal to vanish. Her photographs are unflinching, lyrical acts of documentation, mapping a body in flux and a mind grappling with the epistemic dissonance of chronic illness.

in conversation with // WAYAN BARRE
@wayanbarre
•
Photographer Wayan Barre returns to The Pictorial List with another powerful body of work that deepens his commitment to telling the stories of marginalized communities and environments under threat. Based in New Orleans, Wayan is drawn to places where cultures collide, where history and identity are at risk, and where resilience is not a choice — but a legacy.

The Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe is a French-speaking Native American community of 850 members, living down the bayou. For generations, they have faced existential challenges, from protecting their homes against hurricanes, storms, flooding, and land loss to defending their legacy and culture. The annual hurricane season has started, and they are prepared for it. With the help of scientists, researchers, landscapers, geologists, lawyers, activists, and volunteers, the tribe is looking for ways to fix the past and prepare for the future.

In this follow-up interview, we explore Wayan’s evolving perspective as a photographer, the layered stories behind his photographs, and the meaningful relationships he has formed with the people who inhabit these fragile yet fiercely defended spaces.

Photography and story by Buku Sarkar
@bukuagain
•
There are moments in life when the known world slips quietly out from under us. When the body falters, language retreats, and the steady logic of time unravels. Buku Sarkar’s story is not a straightforward narrative but a trembling aperture. It was illness that unstitched the fabric of her former life — a writer’s life — and cast her, unexpectedly, into the wordless intensity of images.

In her project “Containment Diaries”, Buku stages her refusal to vanish. Her images are not decorative — they do not pander to comfort or beauty. They are unflinching, lyrical acts of documentation, mapping a body in flux and a mind grappling with the epistemic dissonance of chronic illness. Her prose, rich in interiority and philosophical candor, refuses to moralize the sick body or extract inspiration from suffering. Instead, she asks a harder question: “What becomes of the self when the body forgets how to be itself?”

“Sometimes, photography is the only thing that helps me survive. It gives me a rectangle I can breathe inside.”

Photography and story by Regina Melo
@gigi_a_melo
•
‘Whispers – A Love Letter to My Mother’ is more than a photographic project; it is Regina Melo’s way of holding on. Each image is a fragment of memory, a way of preserving presence in the face of absence. Through her portraits of her mother and visual narrative, she offers a meditation on love, grief, and the enduring tenderness of the mother-daughter bond. For Regina, photography became a way to stay close — to see clearly, to listen deeply, to honor the small and sacred details of her mother’s final years. In capturing these moments, she wasn’t just documenting change; she was bearing witness to a life.

On Mother’s Day, ‘Whispers’ invites us to pause and reflect on the women who raised us, shaped us, and loved us — often in ways that went unnoticed. It is a moment to remember and to see our mothers with new eyes. ‘Whispers’ is a tribute, a farewell, and a gentle reminder that even in loss, a mother’s love continues to speak — softly, steadily, like a whisper.

“It’s a personal project, yet I believe it speaks of universal subjects — unconditional love, the slow passing of time, the abiding feeling of loneliness that comes with the finitude of late old age. It was intimidating to capture the essence of someone I love in a photograph. However, it helped me to become very conscious of her vulnerability at those moments in her life. They were intimate and meaningful moments, yet emotionally exhausting and heartbreaking.”
