Elisa Miller UK Honorable Mention Fine Art Amateur "Cigarette for breakfast" As with many days, Betty begins her day by cleaning the house. She takes a break to smoke a cigarette and gets lost in her thoughts. Alarm Call's series started with the book by Betty Friedan, the feminine mystique, written in 1963, describing the assumptions that women would be fulfilled by their housework, marriage, sexual lives and children. But as we know now, there is no "one size fits all" destiny for women, and Friedan wanted to prove that women were unsatisfied and could not voice their feelings. In "The Other," the body of work this image is taken from, I explore the complex ways in which a society built by men shapes the identities of women, drawing inspiration from Jean-Paul Sartre's quote "Hell is other people" (from the play No Exit). The work delves into the struggle between conforming to self-limiting beliefs and discovering one's authentic self. What if hell isn't actually other people - but the things we do to ourselves?

Elisa Miller UK Nominee Fine Art Amateur "The Lesson" For this photograph taken from the series "The Many Faces of Marie", I explore a more intimate topic with a sensuality that can't be expressed. The choice of the character of Marie-Antoinette is reinforced by the fact that her hair had turned white overnight due to stress when she was sentenced to death - which is called the Marie-Antoinette Syndrome. White and red play an important part in this story. In light of the virginal connotation of white, playing with red apples is a reflection of what my character is going through on an inner level. This series is also a chapter of my body of work The Other, where I have been working on identity and self-limiting beliefs. Each chapter of this series takes place in a different environment, where I explore the turmoils my characters are going through.
