tell my love now.

Photographs by Sara Aue Sobol.

TIS Books & Sobol Books, 2024. 92 pp., 60 color images, 9x7½".

Sara Aue Sobol’s tell my love now weaves together two distinct winter journeys, separated by time and place but mirroring and informed by each other in her experience of them. As Sobol’s husband, Jacob, faced clinical depression, it became a catalyst for Sara to look back on the photographs she had taken in Russia years earlier, from a time when the country was more open. Through that process, she began reflecting on the evolution of her bond with Jacob, viewing the images as a lens through which to embrace both their past and present love story.

These photographs gave Sara a way to try to understand and connect with her husband, who in many ways had disappeared into a distant world. At the same time, it gave her a new perspective on her prior work in Russia, itself an exploration of a country on the cusp of disappearing.

Both journeys--healing from a depression and her travels in Russia--explore a longing for closeness.

Through a combination of text and images, portraits and everyday stories, Sobol’s work explores both outer and inner landscapes and the struggle to keep our minds free in the face of repression, whether personal or collective, and celebrates the complexity of love.
