the art of seeing ourselves
Decagon Gallery / Deadline: 01/31/26
Human Body: The Art of Seeing Ourselves invites photographers to look beyond the surface—to see the human form not merely as a subject, but as a mirror of experience.
Not limited to self portraits or nudes. Show us your interpretation of the human body in all its forms as an artistic expression.
Every curve, every line, every gesture becomes a language of its own, expressing vulnerability, resilience, and grace. Through light and shadow, through texture and tone, the camera reveals what is universal in each of us: the quiet truth of being alive.
This exhibition celebrates the body as both art and evidence—an ever-changing landscape that carries memory, emotion, and the stories of our shared humanity.
