Wilson's work reexamines how Native peoples have been photographed and represented over time. Using modern photographic techniques and digital media, he responds to Curtis's influential project The North American Indian (1907-1930), inviting viewers to reflect on questions of identity, visibility, and who has the power to shape the images we see.
