 “In today’s world, we need more security for love than ever before,” says Caroline Kenion, award founder and director.  “There’s a lot here that can comfort us. Beautifully captured smoky hugs, golden lights, and the subject’s facial expressions as they prepare a shared meal. 

 “Sparks are flying from the skewers and smell like roasting. Imagine a warm and delicious scent. “This calm and powerful image nourishes our soul.”
