21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
What we're made of

The photograph shows a human figure interwoven with dried leaves of a plant -organic material. The title "What we're made of" poses that question to the observer and asks what the answer means for their own behaviour, life and being in this world. What are we made of? How far can we stretch ourselves away from our substance? What happens if we do? And what happens if we align ourselves with it?
