Hanging On
Submitted by: Lisa RudolphDuring the pandemic we found solace outdoors in our beautiful state, specifically by hiking on Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail. When I took this photo, I felt it conveyed beauty in the way the light came through the thinness of the leaf. We can take a lesson from nature's resilience, gathering strength during the fallow time.

Hope in the Face of a Child
Submitted by: James RudolphTo my mind, the ultimate show of resilience is hope. To have a child is to hope. Children are at once resilient and the hope for our future.

A foggy sunrise
Submitted by: Calvin LandoltAlright, you got me. The resilience is not in the picture it's in me, the person behind the camera. The scene was so pretty I knew it would make a great picture but it took me over 15 tries to get the desired affect. I just wouldn't give up because I knew the photo would be worth every second I spent on it.

Going Back Up
Submitted by: Emilee MathwigI picked this photo because it was a band performing in august 2021, and this photo captures resilience because it shows how a band is back up and performing after all the lows of 2020, and even though it was a bad year for many people they were able to come back from it all and was able to perform for everyone that day.

New life

Self Reflection
Submitted by: Dylan BaumgarrtThis is a double exposure that shows a girl sitting on a stool in the middle of a sidewalk, looking down at her shoes. It looks as if she is pondering something, or reflecting on life choices. Around her is a zoomed-in, translucent exposure of the same girl. This really gives the effect of her looking inside herself. She is surrounded by a different version of herself, and she feels trapped. This shows resilience because it depicts the difficult struggle between fiction and reality when trying to find yourself.

Strong Roots
Submitted by: Andreas CerneyDespite all odds a small tree grows in the most unlikely of places; not only in the pebbles and stones but also in between two rocks, just like humans and people. Despite all odds no matter what we face... we still have enough power to face it with the fullest of our ability and take down any obstacles in our path.
