A vision of reality that can be present in a picture but masked by the eyes. Some have the vision to see and others need to be shown.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Photography is my passion. I’m drawn to capturing the quiet, often overlooked essence of the world around us. Through each image, I hope to offer a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe, and truly take in the beauty that surrounds us. It’s always there, waiting to be seen.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the moments when I pause and truly look around, when the world seems to slow. When the things we’re told are important begin to fade, what is genuinely meaningful rises to the surface, clear, vivid, and quietly beautiful.
What would you do with $25,000?If selected, I would use the $25,000 to expand access to adaptable art resources in special education classrooms. Many of these students have strong creative abilities that are often overlooked due to the demands of structured learning. By providing accessible materials, they can explore art in their own way, build confidence, and have the same opportunity for creative expression as any other child.
