    Silver Winner in Zines And Photo Book/Culture

200 copies 233 ? 272 mm 140 pages (63 photos included) The photobook brings together analog and digital photographs made from 2019 to the present, exploring the archetype of the “garden of paradise” as a protected space for childhood. Shot primarily on analog cameras, often using a monocle lens, the images use soft focus and low contrast. Scenes of everyday life in gardens and natural landscapes present the environment as an active presence. The work addresses childhood, personal space, and connection to nature, linking the artist’s memory with the viewer’s experience.
