In Between Moments

“The most perceptive photographers can make compelling pictures out of uninteresting moments.” — Alex Tehrani French novelist Georges Perec called for “an anthropology of the ordinary”—a revolt against the relentless spectacle of mass media, where trauma and sensationalism dominate attention. In response, Perec meticulously documented the overlooked details of daily life: lists, bus schedules, crumbs on a table, the passing gestures of strangers. His was a quiet re

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.
