Black Box Gallery is proud to announce an upcoming juried group photography exhibition exploring the timeless and powerful themes of Trees and Water. This exhibition will bring together a diverse range of contemporary photographers, offering fresh and compelling interpretations of two of the most visually and symbolically rich elements found in nature.

Water presents infinite possibilities as a photographic subject. It can be vast or intimate, calm or turbulent—appearing as oceans, rivers, lakes, pools, fountains, rain, fog, mist, snow, or waves. Trees, equally profound, serve as strong visual anchors within the frame. They create structure, rhythm, and balance, offering photographers a foundation upon which to explore space, light, and the passage of time.

This exhibition seeks to showcase the powerful visual language that emerges when contemporary photographers engage with these subjects. Whether approached through realism, abstraction, or conceptual storytelling, the images will reflect the many ways trees and water can evoke emotion, atmosphere, and narrative.

There is ample room within this theme for imaginative, lyrical, and experimental work. Artists are encouraged to explore their techniques, expand their ideas, and present images that feel magical, poetic, and visually engaging. Black Box Gallery looks forward to presenting a dynamic and inspiring exhibition that celebrates creativity, exploration, and the enduring beauty of these natural elements.
