Mental Mapping Selected for American Photography

Awards
Written By Joshua Sariñana

I'm honored to share that one of the portraits from Mental Mapping: The Art of Exploring Connections has been Chosen for inclusion in the American Photography 41 online Archive, curated by AI-AP. The selected photograph, which also appears in Communication Arts’ upcoming 66th Photography Annual, features MZ—a nationally competitive artistic roller skater who represented the U.S. at the 2015 World Championships. Her background in movement and spatial precision offered a meaningful connection to the project’s themes of mental mapping, memory, and embodied perception.

The image was one of just 460 selected from over 7,000 submissions to receive jury recognition and will appear in The ARCHIVE, an ongoing online collection representing some of the strongest photographic work of the year.

I'm grateful to the AI-AP team and jury for this acknowledgment and to Marissa Zampino for contributing to the spirit and depth of this project.
