Taï Dam - Traverser le Mékong... #[nn]

A young woman with dark hair and freckles gazes out from the cover of this 2022 Steinkis release, her expression thoughtful and quietly resolute against a lush watercolor backdrop of emerald rice paddies, misty mountains, and a solitary stilt house near the Mekong's edge. Joël Alessandra's painterly artwork gives the whole image a dreamy, documentary warmth that feels both intimate and expansive. Taï Dam: Traverser le Mékong… promises a deeply human journey rooted in landscape, identity, and the river that shapes them both.
