Behlen says, "Our constant bombardment by all things electronic has left us marooned on an island made up of likes, shares, website metrics. This new life our society lives often seems like one lost at sea. As photographers, we don't need rescuing or an s.o.s. signal. We have developed a way to connect ourselves to our surroundings which allows us to see past these feelings of isolation by using our camera lens.
For this exhibition, we are looking to see the places, people, activities, and things that help you escape from the daily hustle and allow you to live peacefully on your own personal island. The images submitted can be of, or represent, the things that make you feel alive. No interpretation of this theme is wrong. After all, we are all trying to survive our modern lives marooned in a sea of hyperconnectivity."
