Rainfall- Ramou Jallow

Creative Concept: The sequel to "Waiting", when the rain comes, it is a chance to start again, to forgive our mistakes. The pictures show a cleansing ritual, this being a play on the last stanza of the poem, "to forgive our heathen, to start again."

Waiting, Ramou Jallow

Creative Concept: A girl going through her different stages of life from childhood to adulthood, looking up at the sky, waiting for her purpose to unfold. The outstretched hand is to catch the first drops of rain that fall and by extension, purpose.

Joshua Bennette - Levi

"Ten years ago, the neurologist cast autism like a giant fishing net over his brain.

Took the entire family under the tide with it.

Never said gift.

Never suggested

maybe my Levi’s words weren’t rusty anchors

like the rest of ours.

They’re jellyfish:

You think you can see right through them,

but it’s because you’re only watching the surface.

His mind is more like the world’s most extravagant circus

all trapeze and lion teeth

drum beat and riotous laughter

Every sentence

a staccato hymn

in the midst of a world

that has forgotten how to value silence."

-Joshua Bennette

"The last quarter has flushed itself into the belly of the jukebox, his lips has released its kiss from the saxophone, but I'm... but I'm still here... dancing... can someone tell me if I've crashed yet ?"- Jasmine Mans
