The Chelsea International Photography Competition exhibition is a testament to the power of photography to cross cultural and linguistic barriers.

The exhibition offers a window into how photographers interpret their surroundings, tell stories, and capture the zeitgeist of our times.
Photography has a unique ability to capture the fleeting moments of life, and according to a report by Mylio, an estimated 1.4 trillion photos will be taken in 2021 alone, with 7.4 trillion photos stored digitally. This staggering number underscores the importance of exhibitions like the Chelsea International Photography Competition, which curate and highlight the most impactful images from a sea of visual content.
Carmazzi's work, in particular, stands out for its focus on the emotional depth of everyday experiences. Her photographs serve as a reminder of the beauty found in the ordinary, a theme that resonates with many in an increasingly fast-paced and digital world. According to a study by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, experiencing nostalgia can have positive effects, such as increasing one's sense of social connectedness and well-being. Carmazzi's photography taps into this sentiment, offering viewers a chance to pause and reflect on the shared experiences that define us.
