Honorable Mention
Iceberg
DESCRIPTION
When the soul freezes and cools like ice. The cold you feel when they give you bad news or perhaps it is something deeper like the pain of loss, heartbreak, melancholy. This photograph was born out of the need to move, to move forward and to feel that fear is not physical but it is capable of paralyzing you, the ship is the way out of problems, being able to sail to another place to escape pain, but no ship is capable from sailing in frozen waters.
