Ascension in the Hollow

  • Prize
    Honorable Mention
  • Photographer
    Tomohiko Funai, Japan

A self-portrait captured in the depths of a mountain tunnel in Niigata, Japan. The figure floats alone, weightless in a corridor carved from stone and shadow. Industrial textures surround him, yet his quiet ascent feels almost sacred — a moment of solitude, surrender, and silent rebellion against gravity.
