A New Dawn in Accra

CAS International Photo Contest Winner Series 
Featured Submission:
Benjamin Goh

 Description:

"The Elmina Slave Castle we visited the day before left us with a heavy heart--the atrocities one can commit against another was shocking to say the least. But our biggest takeaway was not comprehending the extent of human cruelty; rather, like a new dawn, it showed us the beauty of today, how far we've progressed as a human race, and how we should continually strive to make tomorrow a better place." 

Stop by the lounge at the CAS Advising Center in the Silver Building to see Benjamin's photo, as well as the other winners!

La Casa Rosada (Buenos Aires)

CAS International Photo Contest Winner Series

Featured Photographer:

Arnav Mody

Description:

"La Casa Rosada or The Pink House is Argentina's presidential palace. It is situated at Plaza de Mayo which is the one place where all the energy, emotions and stories of the country are concentrated and can be seen. In the foreground painted in white, one can see the markings on the ground that symbolize las madres de Plaza de Mayo (the mothers of Plaza de Mayo). A group of people still convene at the plaza every Thursday to protest the forced disappearance of their loved ones by the military dictatorship during the 'Dirty War'' where over 30,000 were 'disappeared' between 1976 and 1983. This plaza was the scene of the Argentina's independence revolution of May 25, 1810 that gave the country its freedom. The sentiment of liberty still lives on this plaza through political, social and economic demonstrations. In front of the Argentine flag that waves proudly, the security barricades have graffiti addressing topics like The Falkland’s/Malvinas War, abortion, inflation and wages. This is the first place anybody should visit in Buenos Aires as one can never escape the dynamic emotions that overwhelm the serene air."

Stop by the lounge at the CAS Advising Center in the Silver Building to see Arnov's photo, as well as the other winners!

Le Clown de Cœur

CAS International Photo Contest Winner Series

Featured Photographer:

Liz Lorenz 

Description:

"Le Clown de Cœur was taken in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a quartier on the left bank of Paris, shortly after Valentine's Day. Red paper hearts are still in the windows of a shop in the City of Love. Along with the nearby couple, the decorations reflect in the restaurant window-- the clown's lair. Captured from the outside of the café, his strange gesture and frozen, illegible expression are jarring compared to the lovely street scene. With their juxtaposition and the erie prominence of the clown's transparent figure, the image becomes fantastical and bizarre. Evoking the surreal reflections in the work of Paris based photographer Eugène Atget, Le Clown de Cœur explores various representations of and associations with the city where I feel most inspired."

 

Stop by the lounge at the CAS Advising Center in the Silver Building to see Liz's photo, as well as the other winners!
