Connection and distance, love and separation, queerness in the face of the death penalty, tradition and modernity. Ayman Kaake's debut monograph 99 Names is simultaneously a love letter and a howl – a work that is equally about the necessity of authentic connection and the pain caused by archaic and violent criminalization of homosexuality.

Ayman Kaake (he/him) is a queer Lebanon-born Australian photo-media visual artist currently based in Melbourne’s inner northern suburbs. His practice encompasses various mediums, including contemplative photographic portraiture, video works, and sculptures. Through his art, Kaake delves into the complex themes of diasporic melancholy, the agony of exile and socio-political subjects, utilizing contemplative portraiture and sculptural, styled poses.
