22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Reflective Illusion

During a stroll through downtown Miami, I was struck by the surreal reflection of a Ferris wheel in a puddle. The scene, magnified by the juxtaposition of my friend beside it, blurred the boundary between reality and dreams, evoking a fleeting sense of vertigo. This moment captured the ephemeral nature of existence, transforming reality into a dreamlike unity.
