23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic

Created using analog double exposure, this image layers multiple passersby beneath a stone archway, compressing separate moments into one frame. The merging of figures and architecture reflects the continuity of human presence within historic spaces, where individual lives pass quickly but collective memory endures.
