Contest Theme: "Consider the challenges of the era, economic, environmental, and political and respond to the fundamentally shifting norms shared about beauty, gender roles, and spiritual belief. New Normal addresses the evolving ideals of social relationships, ecological engagement, media and culture in our ever changing world."

I submitted 3 pieces to The Center for Fine Art Photography Submission for their show titled "New Normal."
