Locked In & Focused

Show us a scene depicting a subject completely absorbed in a task, with attention narrowed to the work (or fun) itself.

Examples of on-theme creations could include:

• a writer focused on the page, with hands, paper, or tools filling most of the frame
• a blacksmith or welder seen up close, centered on the work rather than the surroundings
• a programmer lit by a screen, with the rest of the space falling out of view
• an athlete or craftsperson captured mid-effort, framed to emphasize concentration

When making your art, keep in mind:

• The goal is active creation, not perfect results
• A short session is just as valid as a long one
• Follow your own interpretation of the prompt
• Let the process guide the outcome
