In The Ten our 10 selected artists for issue #9 delve into a variety of topics.

Presciently, Austrian Laura Roth’s work Great Expectations questions the future of island life as they cope with increasing climate crises and rising sea levels, and, looking back, Hungarian Franciska Legát recreates a fictional narrative around the absurdities of her country’s communist past in a collaboration with her parents who lived through it.

Seeking connection during lockdown in China, Li Aixiao finds solace by connecting with strangers in their private spaces and becomes one with her subjects in the process in I Am With Me.

In her ongoing series Hester Japanese Kumi Oguro explores the duality of females as she takes us into the fantasy dream worlds she creates for her characters.

Ilaria Sagaria’s Chrysalides explores the mysteries of adolescence using poetic and scientific metaphors to highlight this delicate time.

Cristina Rizzi Guelfi from Switzerland and Hungarian Agnes Eperjesy both reassemble images. Cristina takes a light hearted look at the obsession with selfies in, we need a face [?]. Agnes’ work Mimicry questions the concept of true uniqueness through the use of photographic collage, challenging traditional notions of originality by blending and subverting imagery.

Chihyang Hsu is color blind so here he employs a thermal camera that gives him a sense of presence and the ability to perceive beyond the surface in Touch Is Love.

In her story Granny, Olena Morozova chronicles the sad decline of her grandmother who has been diagnosed with dementia while Lisa Murray collaborates with her young son Griffin to photograph her own journey battling breast cancer, in Through My Child’s Eyes. Both stories emphasize the importance of being connected with loved ones.

As we celebrate our 2nd anniversary and embark on our 3rd year, we will continue to show a diversity of photographers and through the work explore the ever-evolving world around us, celebrate the mini culture revolutions, embrace the strange, and engage in the conversations that shape us. The ability of photography to provoke thought and instigate dialogue was our mission from the start and should never be underestimated.

We express our gratitude to our readers and contributors who have supported us. We appreciate you! We hope that by providing thought-provoking content, we spark discussions, as we celebrate contemporary photography in all its forms.
