    Ohad Matalon, Portugal
  • Prize
    Honorable Mention

My work explores the boundaries of photography, merging it with painting, drawing, engraving & more. Using a technique I developed, where positive & negative of an image overlap, I create smooth gray surfaces that reveal hidden images, creating an optical illusion of relief. This process invites contradictions between negative and positive, original and copy, analog and digital.Blindness symbolizes the death of sight through image overabundance. Images emerge from darkness, inviting tactile interaction. The series features nature and politically charged landscapes, blending reality and art
