“Pillars of Praxis” by Duncan Rawlinson is a photographic journey that weaves through the concept of a utopian society with artistry and wit. In the face of critical articles from outlets like the NYT and the Daily Mail, which aimed to cast shadows on Dryden Brown’s ambitious Praxis project, this series instead shines a light on the foundational characters with a sense of admiration and irony. The attempt by the press to diminish Praxis only amplified intrigue (Streisand Effect) and turned scrutiny into fascination. Through Rawlinson’s lens, each pillar—merchant, priest, warrior—is depicted with an underlying narrative of resilience against skepticism, inviting onlookers to discover a cryptostate that stands defiant in the wake of attempted disparagement, emerging not weakened, but emboldened and antifragile in the public eye.
