    1st Place in Science

People are often afraid of insects. The insects are akin creatures from other parallel dimensions or sci-fi movies. The insects physiology, superpowers, and the way of life are different from that of humans. The negative images of insects’ photos are more fantastic than the portraits of insects themselves. I tried to show the true essence of beings from other dimensions using negative images of the original photos.
