Ashleigh Kennedy, Connected worlds (PEOPLE 2026)

A fleeting moment shared between two souls, my young daughter and an elderly street seller communicating and connecting through shared smiles. Understanding without words. Worlds apart - an elderly woman sits weaving bracelets outside a warung while holiday makers enjoy the views of Uluwatu. The juxtaposition of the family on the left gives the feel of two separate images in the one scene. Exhange - a sweet moment shared and a humble lesson learned. Food in the belly for one and a new pretty adornment for the other.
