Photographer's Statement:

The theme Seasons of Change to me, means learning to grow throughout the year, and experiencing change along the way. Just like how plants undergo changes throughout the seasons, so do we as people. It is up to us to develop through the challenges and accept the ways in which we evolve. My photo shows plants growing towards the sun, representing how we always look towards the light in our lives to get us through hard times, and support us through our transformations.
