Description:
InFocus Photo Exhibit proudly presents its 12th annual exhibition and awards program.
We invited photographers from around the world to submit to InFocus Photo Exhibit & Awards 2026 with the theme “The Space Between” — a celebration of ambiguity, transition, and the unseen threads that shape our world and tie us together. The photographs in this exhibition challenge, question, and illuminate the liminal: the emotional gaps, the silent pauses, the overlooked details, and the beauty that exists in uncertainty and temporality. The photographs are expansive and contemplative, leaning towards those things that can’t be explained, only felt. This multi-venue exhibition presents visual poetry.
InFocus Photo Exhibit matters because it creates space for photography that prioritizes reflection and depth over mindless cultural consumption or doom scrolling. Curated with care and intention, the exhibit highlights voices and perspectives that might otherwise go unseen, reinforcing the role of photography as both an artistic pursuit and a tool for societal commentary and change. With its international reach and thoughtfully presented venues, InFocus Photo Exhibit offers a rare opportunity to experience artwork that resonates long after viewing—making the exhibit a meaningful and memorable destination for artists, collectors, and curious viewers alike.

Description:
Step into a world of love, loss, enamor, and heartbreak. Ex-Girlfriend features original, introspective poetry arranged by source of inspiration; a story typewritten with personas, perspective, and prose. Displayed on naturally-dyed palettes within hand-selected frames, the collection invites readers to pause, reflect on, and feel the complexities of romantic connection through lyrical arrangements. Accenting the poetry are local collages which have embedded pieces of Walker’s poetry books into the art.

Drew Walker Bio:
Born and raised in Edmonton, Canada, Walker has spent her young adulthood striving to obtain wealth in experiences. International travel, deep connection to nature, and the navigation of complex relationships inspire Walker’s poetry. Outside of her writing, Walker is a professional Landscape Designer, Beekeeper, and community steward. Drew’s poems are a glimpse into her personal journals, sharing honest contemplations, unexpressed feelings, and messages to lovers past.
Ex-Girlfriend is the first time that Walker’s poems are being displayed in a particular order. Each section of poems highlights the lived experience of various romantic connections, allowing readers to connect to each character as they once existed for Walker.
Walker is the author of Closer to Closure (2025) and Confines of a Free Spirit (2020).
