The big picture: Tony Docekal explores community and freedom in the US west
Briefly

Tony Docekal's photographs in "The Color of Money and Trees" reveal the stark contrasts between the ideals of freedom, community, and the struggles faced by those living on society's margins.
In the images, Docekal captures survival clues amidst the backdrop of failed promises of prosperity, presenting a visual narrative that questions material wealth versus true happiness.
The title of the monograph points to the paradox of money and nature being present yet unattainable, reflecting the societal neglect of both community and self-awareness.
Docekal shares intimate poetic insights alongside her photographs, expressing her deep connection to the subjects and the landscapes while exploring themes of belonging and resilience.
