2022 Submissions
Shooting Star
This image shows the small detail of all that is left from these stickers that used to once be there. Through the mirror you can see a whiteboard filled with drawings and is a more obvious detail in the hallways rather than the mirror.
Evasive Maneuvers
In the photo, I decided to capture their trail of smoke, and to capture the photo right after they reached their peak and started downwards.
Snow Pier
Photography helps me express my feelings, thoughts, and creativity. I am grateful to my sister for introducing me to this medium that allows me to feel so deeply. My camera will stay with me wherever I go because spotting beauty is unpredictable. My hope is to take and share beautiful pictures that inspire others to do the same.
Imperfection
I took pictures because when I saw the handprints on the wall it reminded me of my childhood. When I was little I used to dip my hand in paint and make artwork on a piece of paper.
Melodies of the Earth
The image was taken in San Francisco by 35 mm film after I got off the BART station. After the film got developed, I was stunned by how beautiful the city is and I ask myself a question, what is the city going to look like if the sea level keeps rising in the next many decades?
Cotton Candy
When I was taking this photo I put into consideration the time of the day it was, the aperture of the camera, the shutter speed of the camera, the weather, even the way the wind blew on my face. The colors of the photo pop in a way like no other. The sky looks like cotton candy mixed with sour patches.
Candy Shop
As I was walking on Haight Street In San Francisco, I noticed a candy shop full of color. I immediately thought that this would be a perfect photo opportunity.
An oasis reflection
This image is a reflection of a pond in the desert in Palm Springs. It is one of my favorite images and I'm excited to share it with you.
The Getaway
This photo was produced 2 years ago, before the start of the Covid-19 outbreak. Taken in the streets of Venice, Italy, it portrays a peaceful and stunning image of what is hidden away from tourists traps and main plazas. While I was there, I fell in love with the color schemes, architecture, and the alley ways.
You don’t have to come here from next week
There was a festival in Japan called Obon about 2 months ago and all my relatives live in Japan so I got to hear all about it. Obon is a festival that lasts a couple of days where people believe that your ancestors and the deceased spirits come back and visit you.
Despondency
The piece I am submitting is a story about a dysfunctional family who relies on their pet for comfort instead of helping themselves change for the better. My own dog inspired my writing of this piece just by looking cute.
Happier Than Ever Before
This poem I made is about a correlation with feelings and nature. I've recently had this idea to take the feelings that are strong with our soul, and the natural world we live around and make a connection between the two.
Disney Expectations
I have always been very passionate about my opinions and love expressing them. While doing another assignment for my AP Comp class, I realized that the subject of Disney Princess Movies, which I loved as a child, actually contains hidden messages that could poison growing kids.
Put On a Smile
Put on a Smile is a flash fiction about an unstable TV host that gets stuck in an elevator one night and reflects on his career and the sacrifices that he had to make to get to where he is. This piece took me a while to pin down.
Acceptance
Through my artwork I have highlighted a topic personal to me, the struggles LGBTQ+ Jewish girls face with God and society. When I began to create my poem, I wanted it to have a clear time frame. With this in mind I made the poem with clear progression by using the age of the young girl as a time-frame.
