  Riflessi: Mirrors, Virtuality, and the Infinite Realities of Abstraction by Stefania Piccioni
  
  Much more than an aesthetic object, the mirror has fascinated and influenced the culture and art of many peoples. Historically it is the first virtuality device, or augmented reality, not only a "duplicator" of reality, but also a transformer of it.
  
  Cage, Dreams and Multiplicity by Paola Francesca Barone

  Street Melancholy by abstract street photographer Stefan Czurda
  
  As I walk through the streets of my hometown Vienna these days, I find myself increasingly attuned to a certain melancholy that seems to hang over the city. It’s a sensation that has grown stronger with time, fueled by a growing awareness of how impersonal and detached our interactions have become in this digital age.

  Fauxliage: Disguised Cell Phone Towers of the American West by Annette LeMay Burke
  
  Fauxliage documents the proliferation of disguised cell phone towers in the American West. By attempting to conceal an unsightly yet essential technology of the modern world, our landscapes are now sown with a quirky and unsettling mosaic of masquerading palms, evergreens, flagpoles, crosses, cacti, and more.

- Junk Food Gourmet; The massacre of the almost innocent
  
  Undoubtedly, we have a public health problem in our health care system, which is still not very visible at the moment. It is not a disease per se, although this phenomenon is the cause of many major diseases and often even deaths. I am talking about obesity and in particular childhood obesity. According to the World Health Organization, 2.8 million people die each year from obesity.
  
  Niko & Adriana: Bored of being wild

  Balkan Pray: An AI Project Capturing Nostalgia and Hope in a Fast-Paced Present by Kostis Argyriadis
  
  In a world that every day hopes tomorrow will be better, in a world that remembers, perhaps mistakenly, that the past was better, in a world that is speeding every second now, hope is the only thing that is lasting.

LENS
- Home
  
  Each of us needs to feel at home to be well. The concept of "home" is intimately linked to a spiritual state of well-being. To feel protected, to feel welcomed, to feel understood, to feel free to be who we intimately feel we are, to feel oneself in essence, to feel authentic; to connect with the harmonious universe, with thought, with memories, with hope for the future, with one's roots; to get rid of fears, of appearance, of complacency, of defensive armor.
  
  A story of light – A book by Jan Nemec
  
  I will never know if are the things that are looking for you and make sure that you find them, or it is you that are looking for them (sometimes without knowing it) and they let themselves be found.... this is what I felt when, last spring in Madrid, during PhotoEspaña 2023
  
  Story of a lost love
  
  There is nothing more heartbreaking than a love lost without having had the chance to be born. I'll tell you a love story like those you will surely have seen in some films, a heartbreaking and at the same time tender and moving love story.

  Bosch Redux: Reimagining the Surreal Worlds of Hieronymus Bosch through the Lens of Lori Pond
  
  I became fascinated with Hieronymus Bosch’s “Garden of Earthly Delights” as a teenager. His limitless imagination and intricately detailed images captured my mind. I put these details center stage, using models, wardrobe, special prosthetics and specially-built props to create photographic facsimiles of Bosch’s original paintings.
