Photographic Mysticism

Juror | Michael Behlen We exist in a moment of visual acceleration, where images are born and buried in the same breath. Our culture of immediacy, the endless scroll, and the constant refresh have eroded our capacity for reflection. Instant film, though born of technological ambition, now offers resistance to that very acceleration. Its process, tactile and irreversible, creates room for doubt, failure, and revelation. Each image is an act of faith in what remains unseen until it slowly, impe

Arrayah Loynd Winner 2025 Rhonda Wilson Award

This body of work is a personal story; a visual telling of the mental and physical impacts of living with chronic pelvic pain while dealing with medical misogyny, misinformation, and incompetence. There is only a thin membrane between what the world sees and the lived reality of my life. I may seem fine as I mask the pain, but if you excavate, even just a little, you will find it is all completely raw. I am lost in the ebb and flow of pain, of heartbreak and despair. I am angry. I am difficult. I am defeated
