WINNERS

Unraveling

  • Photographer
    Cecilie E. Åserud, Norway
  • Prize
    Bronze Winner in Technique/Wet Collodion

I use wet plate collodion to explore organic forms as they begin to unravel. Softening, collapsing, shifting into something bodily and unfamiliar. Roots and fruits echo skin, gesture and vulnerability. The slow chemistry reveals textures that feel both ancient and intimate. Each plate becomes a quiet moment of transformation, suspended between what is holding together and what is letting go.
