I watch, I listen, I document. Fascinated by stories—real and imagined—that reveal the cracks in our world.
Chris Pugh is a listener first, a writer second. He watches, documents, and makes sense of the world through images and words. A lifelong skeptic of authority, he believes in the power of storytelling to reveal uncomfortable truths.
