  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

Place and Persistence brings together iconic San Diego landmarks and the cracked desert surface of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park through in-camera double exposure on 35mm film. The series allows built form and landscape to occupy the same visual space, where structure softens, ground asserts itself, and scale begins to shift. Through layered textures and overlapping forms, the work considers how environments endure, intersect, and remain present within a single frame.
