The theme for this contest was 'The Shape of Abundance.'

Abundance reveals itself in the small moments of daily life:
The warmth of sharing a meal with loved ones.
The beauty of sunlight filtering through leaves.
The smiles of cherished ones or the peace of solitude.

It’s not about luxury but about moments that fill the heart. Hidden in the small fragments of everyday life lies 'The Shape of Abundance.'

Now, let us introduce the submissions and winning entries.

Light streaming onto the dining table. Even with few words, the shared breaths of those who have spent long years together are present. Without any special events, the prepared table and the two seated backs embody the true essence of 'abundance' in its quiet form.

The quietness sinking into the light gently brushes the heart. Though only silhouettes are visible, warmth is undeniably present. To care for and embrace someone is another form of abundance. The light and shadow seem to softly convey the invisible warmth.

The yellow flag swaying in the wind quietly holds someone’s wishes and time. Behind each character lies the days accumulated and the love imbued within. The shape of abundance is perhaps the warmth of a heart wishing to leave behind memories and hoping for happiness.

Flowers blooming vibrantly in a corner of the city. Flowers bring unexpected joy and serenity to our daily lives. Even on gloomy days, their vividness can lighten the heart. Such small moments that move the heart and the ability to appreciate their beauty are the true shapes of abundance.

The calm sea reflects the colors of the sky, slowly blending together. The wind and sounds fade away, leaving only time itself. Abundance is not about acquiring something but savoring the 'nothingness' of such moments. The ability to perceive the unseen is the true shape of abundance.

The abundance in daily life is not something defined by others but something quietly residing in your own perspective. Joy, doubt, and tranquility—all of these are proof of living in the present and essential elements that shape us.
