The Struggle To Right Oneself
Kerry Skarbakka has took a series of photographs of himself falling through air. " His work is in response to the human experience of uncertainty and balance; of relinquishing and taking control." As he says in his artist statement, the images “convey the primal qualities of the human condition as a precarious balancing act between the struggle against our desire to survive and our fantasy to transcend our humanness.”

Julian Germain's Classroom Series 
Germain is a collector.

….the power of the images is in their direct connection to the viewer. We remember our own schooldays and wonder what happened to our own classmates. By presenting different pupils, different schools, different year groups, Germain asks questions about contemporary educational practices and social divisions. Already we can imagine the life trajectories of some of these young people. Here are faces full of hope and promise. Here also, is the silent threat of failure. Aspiration competes with apathy…..”
Tom Shakespeare. Archive Magazine, October 2005

Animal Kingdom
Asa Wikman's illustrated series. On Lost at E Minor, she wrote" I am a Swedish illustrator and designer who works in London. I love character design, doodling and patterns, being inspired by childhood memories, my bad sense of humour, and my love for nature. With my constantly growing Animal Kingdom collection, I combine all that with a bit of “nature strikes back”."

Flora & Fauna
Kirsten McCrea writes on her webpage:

"Taking inspiration from mold, fungus, and moss, these colourful blooms of ornament and pattern come to land on and obscure everyday objects, animals, machines, and even language itself.
Coming to enshroud objects both everyday and remarkable, these pattern blooms eliminate detail, surface, color, and texture of the original form, replacing the visual appearance of familiar objects with something alive, organic, and visually stunning. Like a careful manicured, miniature garden, the base objects become a foundation, the soil in which dedication, repetition, and a commitment to form, pattern, and colour grow."
