Rencontres

  • Photographer
    Katalin Száraz, France
  • Prize
    Silver Winner in Human/Portrait

As a woman living abroad in Paris, I found connection by photographing other women far from their home. This project reveals their vulnerability and strength through intimate portraits and handwritten reflections. It’s about being truly seen—and seeing oneself—in the fragile space between cultures. These encounters create a shared sisterhood, showing how living abroad can be both empowering and deeply transformative.
