    Honorable Mention

Like children rebuilding a sand castle washed away by the tide, we grapple with time and memory's fleeting nature. Each wave of experience erodes our past while bringing new moments. We persist in preserving these fleeting instants, much as young builders reconstruct their fragile creations. In this cycle of creation and dissolution, we understand that life, like the ocean, is a constant ebb and flow. Memories form and fade like ripples on water's surface, reminding us of the impermanence and beauty of our experiences. Shot on KODAK EDUPE 35mm film in Spain, cross-processed.
