Timeless Contrasts: Shadows and Light Yiyi Wu
Canada

Honorable Mention

"Timeless Contrasts: Shadows and Light"
Under the quiet sky, two silhouettes embrace, Old friends reunite at a tranquil, steady pace. The years fall away as they stand heart to heart, In a silent testament to friendship's enduring art. A clasp that defies the gulf of time's long drift, In monochrome hues, life's curtain they lift. A moment's capture where past and present blend, A reminder that true bonds will never end. In the still of the boardwalk, with the sea whispering near, They hold on to the now, to what is dear.
