Growth Exhibition Curated by Sierra R. Aguilar
© Katrina Piacek, Out Grown, Copenhagen Denmark
It is inevitable. The trajectory of change. The way seedlings sprout, and children stand taller. There are few things as reliant as growth; few that are as mandatory, and unspoken. Through a manifestation of time, our skin begins to scar, our practices begin to change, our laughter grows louder, and our photographs evolve.
This exhibition highlights the inevitability of growth. Whether that be occurring in the natural state of the world, personal moments of artistic endeavors, or changes in familial dynamics. Growth is one of the few constants that consistently proves inescapable, and with that, photographers have found a way to freeze time, photograph, and hold moments of the past before everything changes again. These images serve as a spot to recognize and celebrate our growth, the growing pains, the past, and everything that comes alongside it.
Enormous thanks to everyone who took the time to submit, and while today we celebrate 50 photographers, every image and perspective submitted was a joy to experience.
