In this book, Bahbah’s work has been divided among four chapters: Dear Heart, Dear Darkness, Dear Light, and Dear Love to take readers on a journey through her intricate and creative process of using art to heal and reconcile with love. Each photograph weaves together Bahbah’s own story and fantasies.

Although Bahbah’s photographs are released as a series, the individual photographs that make up each series encapsulate whole narratives within themselves. Showcasing a unique understanding of her generation, her body of work presents a pivotal voice that champions emotional liberation and vulnerability.īahbah has been explicit about her use of art as a tool to process trauma and hurt. As an independent artist, Bahbah single-handedly propelled her career, finding strength and inspiration from her personal experiences of trauma.

Her quasi-narrative photography series speak to those who lend their lives to love yet feel trapped between their heads and their hearts. Bahbah’s signature style places complicated emotions at the forefront of visually striking and often decadent tableaus. Many of the photographs have been globally exhibited in major art fairs and solo exhibitions, and acquired by esteemed art collectors, while others have never been shown before. With work spanning more than ten years, Dear Love is a collection of photographs that details the artistic and emotional world of visual artist Sarah Bahbah.
