We are pleased to announce the end of the photography competition, the winner of which is Mrs. Emilia Skorek from the Lublin branch! Emilia's competition entry, titled "Isolation," received the most votes from a jury composed of representatives of teams from various locations from which entries were submitted. The prize, a "Palaroid" instant camera (with a supply of cartridges), for the winner was funded by the Foundation We give wings!
Mrs. Emilia about herself: My name is Emilia Skorek. I've been working at SuperDrob SA in the Lublin branch for 2.5 years as the chief planner.
My passion for photography began with the purchase of a camera in 2011. Then came a basic photography course given to me by my sister, and then participation in a meeting of the Lublin Photographers Group, a student organization, which turned into six years of attending and learning from other group members, enthusiasts, amateurs, and professional photographers.
All three photos are self-portraits taken without a helper in my apartment.
„"Isolation" was created by setting up a tripod with a camera on a balcony. The windowpane captures two images: a person confined to their home and the reflection of the outside world they miss during lockdown.
„"It's okay now." With this photo, I wanted to show the end of restrictions through the gesture of removing a mask and wearing bright red lipstick.
„"Quarantine" was created a year ago for a recurring competition for GFL members under the same title. My associations with quarantine are the lack of color, purity, emptiness, and loneliness. Hence the minimalist portrait with a glass of milk. Milk, a symbol of health, fills the center with white, creates a background, displaces color, and purifies the sterile space of quarantine.
