We started talking about "Scar Tissue" from our very first conversations several years ago, mostly about the process, the journey.

"This haunting first monograph by Israeli-born photographer, Assaf Pocker, reinvents photographic portraiture as a medium for communicating the deepest and darkest of human emotions. The artist's methodology is entirely focused on the cultivation of relationships: meeting with potential models one-on-one, sometimes for years, to talk and share mutual experiences of suffering, ultimately building a deep trust. It is this trust that allows the artist to capture the raw emotions surrounding human suffering and survival in this collection; it is the intense vulnerability of his subjects and the compassion between artist and model that unite the images in this powerful collection."
