Belinda Hogg, Transience on Concrete (LIGHT/SHADOW - Entries close 30 September 2026)

This black-and-white photograph captures a poetic juxtaposition between the delicate nature of flora and the unyielding texture of built environments. By utilizing a shallow depth of field, the physical dandelion head in the foreground is rendered into a soft, ethereal blur. This shifts the viewer's primary focus onto its sharp, high-contrast shadow projected directly against a weathered brick wall.
