23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Dimension Split
In this image, the forest appears as if two realities overlap - the world above and its inverted reflection below. Through this distorted space runs a single bright blue line. It clearly does not belong to nature; it is a mark of human presence, a clean, artificial boundary cutting through an organic environment. The photograph highlights how easily humans interrupt natural unity. With just one intervention, we can divide something that originally existed as a whole. “Dimension Split” is a reminder of how our actions reshape the way nature looks, feels, and exists.
