Marika Lortkipanidze, with their image titled ‘The invisible doors’.
“This image, taken during a production of The Threepenny Opera, depicts an interaction between society and people with Down’s syndrome. It is meant to capture that, beyond the invisible door, there are people with the same desires and abilities to live their lives to the fullest – to love, fear, succeed, fail, and rise back up – like we all do. There is no place for boundaries or limits; all over the world, diversity helps to break them down.”
This year, the competition for the Head On Photo Awards was fierce! One of Australia’s premier photography exhibitions had submissions from all over the world, capturing spectacular photographs in every genre and style under the sun.
