The theme relates to urban gangs and criminals in the capital Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea. It looks inside the world of cults and kustom and tribal culture: what happens to traditional society when urbanisation and globalisation take over. The portraits provide a window into the faces behind the facelessness of gang and criminal activities.
