Portrait: Honorable Mention 2025 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
„Echoes” is an intimate story encapsulated in a portrait of twin girls who, although almost identical at first glance, conceal two separate worlds. Their similarity acts like an echo: one image is reflected in the other, creating the illusion of unity. Each echo, although similar to the original sound, never sounds exactly the same. The same is true for them. The „Echoes” photo is a reminder of the importance of finding one's own voice, even if it sounds similar to another. At the same time, it celebrates the unbreakable bond of family - a relationship that, like an echo, carries through life, sometimes quietly, sometimes clearly, but always in the present. It is a portrait of strength, closeness, and beautiful diversity in unity.
