Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2025 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Title: What is born
Through the interplay of human anatomy and nascent wings, the image explores the thresholds of change, the birth of new potential, and the poetic tension between the familiar and the evolving self. In this particular work, I study the process of metamorphosis from human to bird, taking inspiration from the figure of fallen angels, blending corporeal transformation with symbolic and mythological imagery.
From the series "Metamorphosis" by Nova Doria
AUTHOR
Nova Doria (Madrid, Spain) is a self-taught photographer and multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the fluid boundaries between body, nature, and abstraction. Her creative process merges analog and digital photography, incorporating hand and digital drawings, layered transparencies, and textures that evoke transformation and memory.
Dreams play a central role in her imagery, the oneiric becomes tangible through artistic practice, turning inner visions into physical forms. Through this hybrid language, Doria investigates human deconstruction and the reconstruction of beauty beyond imposed canons. Her visual universe invites a dialogue between fragility and strength, dissolving form into emotion while reclaiming beauty as a universal and inclusive force.
