In Say Yes, artist Joseph Desler Costa reimagines possibilities of the photobook form within a visually melodic and lyrical meditation on desire and visual seduction. Inspired by the persuasions of mass media and consumer culture, Costa folds commercialism inward while inviting viewers to consider how the aesthetics of visual advertising underlie contemporary life.
