Lotvin Family Gallery: Depth of Field Juried Photography Exhibition
EXHIBIT DATES: March 16 - April 8, 2026 at the Lotvin Family Gallery in Hopkinton, Massachusetts
This exhibit aims to honor the art of photography in all its forms, embracing the wide range of approaches and styles that photographers bring to the medium. By showcasing this diversity, we celebrate the creative spirit and the unique perspectives that make photography such a powerful art form.
The guest judge is Rebecca Skinner. She picked first, second and third place winners and three honorable mentions that will be announced at the reception on Friday March 20th 6-7PM.
I chose to submit 2 pieces from my Fluidity Series looking at the ebb and flow of ice. I chose “The Surface We Break” and “Nature’s Frozen Glass” because the depth of field is so strikingly different but they depict the same thing: the transition of water from frozen to liquid states.
A dramatic diagonal split creates a visual metaphor for the different spaces navigated by the LGBTQ+ community. The smooth, frozen expanse represents the cold, solid expectation of conformity or the required façade of silence. The active, liquid side symbolizes the joyous, sometimes turbulent, but ultimately necessary breaking of that surface—the freedom and vulnerability of living with true visibility. The line is not a barrier, but a site of transition and courage, where the choice to flow is made.
