  • Prize
    Bronze Winner in Architecture/Interiors

A living room is a stage of unseen potential. This photograph captures the liminal space between what has just happened and what is yet to unfold. The unique warmth and rich tonal range of the palladium print perfectly articulate this suspended tension. A draped jacket, a waiting cat, and slanting light radiate latent energy in absolute stillness. The image transforms a familiar room into a psychological landscape—mapping the quiet breath just before a story begins.
