Theme:
How has your locale affected you – your life – your sense of self – your perception of what is important? How has it influenced what you strive for, what you reject, what you love, or what you long for? We are seeking visual representations of any aspect of this theme. If this resonates for you and you have made art about it (including symbolic and metaphorical interpretations), we would love to see your submission.
