interconnected photographs, presenting a cohesive narrative that conveys themes
of inclusivity, hope, and coexistence.
While each photograph may
explore a different subject, the series must cover the following two
perspectives:

atmosphere and humanistic details within the gallery.
·
Exterior Architecture: Present the architectural
form of the 8,000-square-metre gallery building, along with its harmonious
relationship with the surrounding coastal landscape.
The organiser said, “Art must carry the mission of entering everyday life and engaging with reality. By documenting the warmth of spaces through photography, we encourage the public to rediscover tranquillity and balance in today’s fragmented and fast-paced world. Every photograph captured is a visual tribute to the shared vision of a harmonious human community.”
