Label TextBlaise Tobia states a continuous desire to "bring together form, concept, and meaning" in his photographs. A professor at Drexel University, Tobia arranges pairings that offer either complimentary views of a subject or opposing points for comparison and discussion. In Cultural Exchange, Tobia counters gluttony on the right with sophistication and constraint on the left.
