For July-2025: A Limited Open Call for Setu
Back with another call.
The visual is by Jerome Berglund, powerhouse of talents; frequent contributor to Setu and a respected young artist-author.
It is a powerful picture that captures a pivotal moment on public transit, a familiar image, often encountered, during commutes, globally, the characters might be different.
A woman looking out, some faces caught on the window-glass and the lens of a skilled photographer---disorienting in effect!
What does it say?
Ennui.
Female gaze.
Waiting/ruminating, this woman passenger.
Well, one photograph---many possibilities!
What does it mean to you, as a creator, keen for challenging prompts?
The field of interpretations, wide open.
Please, send the very best for the editorial consideration.
