    Honorable Mention

Between one performance and the next, something true slips through - dressed as performers, yet caught in the moments performance forgets to hide. This series lives in the tension between the theatrical and the deeply private: bodies that know how to hold a stage, but here, they hold each other instead. Shot on analog film, these images search for what remains when the show falls away – the weight of a hand, a tilted neck, a gaze that doesn't perform for anyone. Three people, one room, and the quiet intimacy that exists only between those who have learned to see past each other's costumes.
