My Life in ‘88

Looking down over some bushes from a road just above, dairy cows can be scene grazing a very small piece of land. A small yard of a farmer. While the dairy cows graze, two stand in the middle, bashing their small horns into one another. It is hard to tell whether it is playful or serious. The surrounding cows do not look concerned. They continue to graze and eat the grass from the field.

Channel Surfing

A semi-transparent image of a woman with translucent fabric draped over her is overlaid on top of a background landscape image. The top half of the landscape is of trees and branches. The bottom of the landscape is snow with the shadows of the tree's over top. The image is mirrored horizontally, with the subject appearing side by side and facing away from the reflection. The overall colour palette is cool, with pinks, purples and dark blues.

The image is composed of two parts divided diagonally from top left to bottom right. The left half is composed of the land, and farms. The roads on the land all lead towards the centre of the image, which has a very proportionately small factory that is letting of a smoke cloud that dwarfs the factory itself. The right half is made up of a lake. The water on the lake seems to have something from the land bleeding into it as tendrils of sand, dozens of meters long, reach out into the lake.

Balthazar Alfred

Diogo Gomes

Plateau

A young woman with bright orange hair in a shag cut stands in front of a layered, fabric backdrop. She is covered in a fine veil, and has her arms outstretched. She is slightly hunched forward into a full-chested scream. Her eyes are closed, and the scream seems to tear through her. She is in a black dress with a mid-length v-neck that is sleeveless. The backdrop behind her and the floor beneath her are both deep navy fabric, although the backdrop has tule placed in front of it, that is folding in the centre and catching light from the rear.

The image features a Chinese model dressed in a light teal Hanfu, positioned at the center of the frame. The long silk dress flows gracefully as the model sways, showcasing its delicate pattern and movement. A soft orange glow from the setting sun illuminates the model's face, creating a serene, warm atmosphere. The model stands under a tree with long leaves, their green and orange hues softly framing the scene and blending with the overall natural palette. The image captures a moment of quiet reflection, blending the elegance of the Hanfu with the beauty of autumn.

A pisco sour with a frothy top sits in an elegant glass, garnished with a lime slice and rosemary sprig. Surrounded by fresh limes, rosemary, and a cracked eggshell, the drink rests on a soft, light-colored surface. Warm golden fabric in the background casts a cozy, sunlit glow, enhancing the refined and refreshing aesthetic.

Worm's-eye view of an aurora corona captured during an aurora storm. Bright, saturated green and pink bands of the aurora borealis morph and bend across the starry night sky. They appear to create a crown-like shape as they converge toward a middle point.

Julia Guo

Aurora Corona

A landscape composition of a half-frozen pond. Water washes over the ice, creating a waving diagonal split between the bottom and top halves of the scene. Mossy green and cerulean blue tones are present throughout. White patterns in the ice at the top right corner of the frame appear almost cloud-like.

Frozen in Place (01)

A hand holding a photograph of a newborn baby up to a bight window. At once the head and shoulders image of the baby wearing a blue onesie against a blue and purple backdrop and the inscription on the back can be seen. The hand written inscription reads 'Kenna Grace Robinson born 19 Jan 02 2 days old.

Self Evident 02

A row of multi-colored townhouses lines a quiet street, displaying a mix of architectural styles and colors. The houses, painted in shades of beige, yellow, gray, and light green, feature unique rooflines, varied window placements, and balconies with decorative railings. Most are two or three stories high, with well-maintained facades. The asphalt-paved street is bordered by a concrete curb, separating it from the sidewalk where bare trees stand, suggesting a late fall setting. The image is taken at eye level, providing a straightforward perspective of the neatly arranged homes.

A man wearing a red backpack stands shirtless in a green field clearing with big trees behind him. Underneath him is a reflected image of a different green landscape, almost creating the illusion that he is standing in front of a reflective water surface. Small in the reflected field are two figures crouching in the brush.
