23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Screaming Dreams
A stormy shoreline dissolves into blue haze as a flock of pigeons explodes across the frame in blurred flight. On the ground, a lone figure stands near the water, almost swallowed by the chaos above. The image feels like an externalisation of an inner storm - dreams taking off and breaking apart at the same time. I have tried to tell the story of my mental health through this image and in this sense it is a slightly biographical photo.
