Storm, Rupert Museum, Stellenbosch
Storm | Eleventh cycle of the Prix Pictet
Storm is both a natural phenomenon and a metaphor for the unseen and relentless forces shaping our world today. As a theme, it speaks to the growing volatility of our age, encompassing environmental collapse, political upheaval, economic instability, and social unrest, where we seem forever poised on the brink of the next crisis.
The theme challenges photographers to capture the raw energy and profound consequences of these turbulent times. Whether focusing on the devastation of climate disasters, displacement, or the simmering tensions within divided societies, Storm reveals not only disruption but also the generative force within, the possibility of transformation, renewal, and hope that emerges in its wake.
