theme descriptions

We grouped these images into themes that reflect how we see them. But every photo's meaning is fluid and can tell many stories. Your own interpretation is the right one – at least until you view it the next time, because you may see it in a different light.

That's what we're hoping will happen.
That’s what art is about.

---

chaos & order	Photographs that reveal the tension between disorder and structure—scenes where patterns emerge from complexity, and where movement, contrast, or arrangement suggests an underlying balance.
connections	Photographs that examine the ties between people, places, objects, or moments—shown through physical links, shared actions, or visual relationships that convey a sense of connection or continuity.
division & unity	Photographs that consider separation and togetherness – where elements join, oppose, align, or break apart in ways that define the visual and emotional relationship between them.
formations & form	Photographs that focus on shape and structure—natural or human-made forms whose contours, mass, or patterns define the visual experience of the image.
light & shadows	Photographs that explore contrasts in lighting, shapes, age, ideas, opposing forces–focusing on the concepts of tension, balance, or dualities.
remnants	Photographs of what time or circumstance leaves behind—weathered surfaces, forgotten objects, and the visible marks of places or lives that once belonged.
solitude	Photographs of a single person or object that focuses on isolation and space–physically or conceptually–from its surroundings.
soul	Photographs that convey emotional presence—faces, animals, objects, or settings that feel expressive, alive, or resonant with inner meaning.
wabi-sabi	Photographs that honor the quiet beauty of gentle imperfection—objects or natural forms worn by time or use, whose subtle aging, simplicity, and continued presence reveal a calm and transient grace.
