GOLD | Jocelyn Claire Todd, Canada
A life without physical and social contact felt bleak. I was looking into the forest for some clues about why we live in the city and couldn’t find any. I was interested in why we like to cover ourselves in noise and things and buildings and armour and distractions and was looking for little moments of beauty.

WHY SHOULDN'T WE BE VULGAR | Corina Andrian, Romania
Who’s mad at me for being what I am? I am obscene, I get in trouble with the law. I am profane, I get in trouble with God. I am vulgar, I get in trouble with my mother. I am a sophisticated problem. To be aware of one’s vulgarity elevates you above the vulgar. I am alive. And you?
