Honorable Mention
I can’t see. I can barely walk. But I am heading toward the light.
DESCRIPTION
A figure in an orthopedic corset stands in a dim, empty room where the only source of light is a narrow window. Beside the wall, a pair of crutches silently mark the presence of pain, limitation, and an ongoing struggle. The image oscillates between intimate document and metaphor: it reveals vulnerability that is not resignation, but an act of courage – a slow, steadfast movement toward light, and thus toward hope.Photograph taken during the @plener_sanatorium photo workshop in collaboration with model @papaja_modelina
AUTHOR
I am a journalist and cultural theologian by education, an editor and copywriter by profession. I earn my living with words and "unwind" through images (recently). I have 20 years of amateur theater experience, over 500 photo sessions as a model, and two years of trying my hand at photography. I use an Instax on sunny days, a digital camera on cloudy ones, and Lightroom Classic and Photoshop when working on the final image.
