Honorable Mention
Hello Brooklyn
DESCRIPTION
“Hello Brooklyn” focuses on the infinite and cyclical nature of being. The subject of the photograph is an old wall in Williamsburg covered with stickers, posters, and graffiti. Color and light were used to manipulate the elements within the photograph as to express the paradoxical nature of that which is simultaneously in a state of destruction and creation - a paradox in which can be found both connection and acceptance. AUTHOR
Sam Rittenberg lives and works in New York City and the Dominican Republic. His primary focus is on photography’s ability to explore the paradoxical interplay between the finite and the infinite. He is guided by the belief that every image holds the potential to serve as a portal to that which ordinarily lies beyond us.
