the image you never left behind
Decagon Gallery / Deadline: 06/20/26
Years pass. People change. Places disappear. Entire parts of our lives quietly fall out of reach. And yet, some photographs remain impossibly close to us. Not because they are perfect, but because they continue holding something we were never fully able to leave behind.
Decagon Gallery invites photographers worldwide to submit one photograph only: the image they never left behind.
