Dancing │ Photography, 2021

 —

You are lying in a field. You look at the sky and suddenly see the dance of these spikelets in the sunset light. What do you feel?

JOSIE WATSON

Growth │ Photography / Cyanotype, 2022

 —

Through creating self portraits, I aimed to not only grow my technical and conceptual skills, but develop my sense of self and find who I am. The personal and professional growth I got from the project is reflected through the use of cyanotype, plants and close up framing.

KAYLA COCHRAN
Untitled (Double) │ Photography / Cyanotye, 2022

—

I used to work at a Stop and Shop grocery store in Beverly, Massachusetts. I began collecting the discarded lists people would leave behind, knowing they held something beautiful that I couldn’t quite place. I continue to collect grocery lists and other found notes, categorizing them in my studio. The mysteries provided by these anonymous scraps of human detritus have become subjects of the narratives my art attempts to tell.

KAYLA COCHRAN
Untitled (Dolls) │ Photography, 2022

—

This project is an extension of my longstanding interest in visual storytelling through domestic still life. In an attempt to discover these stories, I rely heavily on the practice of collecting and investigating evidence of existence. In search of human paraphernalia that hold some anonymous history, I find artifacts that, together, evoke new narratives and place value in moments and items that were once discarded.

ANGELIKA BERNDT
London Today │ Photography, 2017

—

The presented photo is part of the wider and ongoing project London Today. The idea for the project was first developed in 2017 with the goal to develop a deeper understanding about the cultural developments that define London, a city struggling to be true to its old traditions while embracing modernity. The presented image is set between geometry and art and aims to give the viewer a feel of rather than a document about the modern developments beginning of the 21st century in London.

MICHAEL WALDO FOELLER
Heaven to a Tortured Mind #10 │ Photography, 2022
—
“Heaven To A Tortured Mind,” grew out of a project where I explored the idea of other people’s relationship with their own aloneness. I wondered what they did when they were alone? What did alone look like to them? I became obsessed with those questions and began to try to answer them for myself. I began photographing people who I’ve built a connection with, to represent my feelings in these self-portraits which allowed me to focus on the emotion buried deep within that would otherwise never be expressed. Wrapping the subject’s face with white gauze created an outlet for my dissociated dark thoughts – my nightmares, memories and emotions – without invading my own privacy.

AMY BLOOMFIELD
I Let the Rocks Drag Me Deep Under the Water │ Photography, 2022
—
It’s been a long day and an even longer week. The thought bubble forming above your head begins to morph into an image. You’re lying in your bed; head buried deep in your pillow with the covers drawn up tight around your chin, ready to dissolve into your own warmth and explore the best of your subconscious. If only it were always that simple…

AMY BLOOMFIELD
Everything Felt Normal in Spite of the Silence │ Photography, 2022
—
These images are extracted from my project Nightmares End, which explores the relationship between the desire for a good night’s sleep and the scenes that keep me awake after dark. Utilizing the medium of pinhole photography, I attempt to capture the eerie atmosphere that remains prominent within my nightmares.

DJEMMA SATTAR
Fisherman Three │ Photography, 2015
—
Beluga caviar is in high demand due to its luxurious reputation, but beluga caviar, the species that produces it, is endangered. Over the past 15 years, the beluga population in the Caspian Basin has declined by about 90%, mainly due to overfishing and poaching. This depletion of the species had devastating ecological consequences. In Baku, Azerbaijan, a city on the Caspian Sea, impoverished fishermen are forced to illegally fish for beluga, perpetuating a cycle of poverty and despair. The harvested caviar is then sold to wealthy people, furthering a system of inequality and exploitation. By creating these portraits, I highlight social and economic injustice and the importance of supporting the protection of fragile ecosystems.

ANDRES ANASTASIO
Criptico │ Photography, 2019
—
"Críptico" travels through the turbulent and chaotic internal courses of thought. Here the being transits, molds and transforms each sequence, until it forms a character. In this work there are no masks. The face is the mask "in situ", which provides sufficient elements to transform itself into other figures, other forms. The face consists of an undefined element that questions the exterior identity and exposes the interior one. Indices, traces.

I am interested in the in-between moments of life, supposedly ordinary moments that occur all around us. With my work I want to convey a feeling of empathy for everyday life and draw attention to the appreciation of the "ordinary".

Matters Desintegration #4 │ Photography, 2023
—
A work on the Daubenhorn in Leukerbad. "Matters" series consists of photographs dealing with the theme of mountains, which are strongly influenced by climate change and are transforming the Swiss alpine landscape.
It is a poetic and sometimes frightening image of the mountain gradually disappearing and crumbling to finally show the substance of the rock face.

VIKY MOLLENKAMP
Untouched │ Photography, 2023
—
In a monochromatic canvas, a forest emerges atop a mountain, piercing through ethereal white clouds. The dark hues of the woodland stand in stark contrast to the surrounding whiteness, creating a surreal scene. This black and white photograph captures a sense of connection to the earth while embracing the freedom found above the clouds, evoking a profound appreciation for nature's captivating beauty.
- V. M.
