Recommended by Nikki (Fine Print Photographer & Content Publisher): "Sugita’s transient monument series highlights the temporal aspect of human transit, as we travel around in our cars, buses, trains, bikes, etc. Something I took for granted before Seattle’s lockdown began. In Transient Monument #4, we do not see any people. Instead we see two great forces - the man made steel bridge and the water beneath it. Both things are often only seen in passing, until we slow down and really take a second look."

Takeda’s depiction of the death card is filled with eyes wide open, including on the intense central figure with their hands gracefully crossed, staring straight back at the viewer. In tarot, drawing the death card isn’t always a bad thing. Death is a normal part of life and can mean a new beginning as well as an end to something. As the year winds closer to its own death, this etching is a reminder to be alert and conscious about what in our own lives needs to come to a close and what could use more of our energy.
