Mieke Boynton, Heartbeat (Single Shot 2020)

When my dad had open heart surgery in 2018, I was genuinely scared he wouldn't make it through. As I waited (and waited) with Mum for the phone call from the hospital, I realised how much I take for granted. Health... Family... Love... The intricacy of the heart... This photo (an aerial of a braided river in Iceland) is a personal dedication, and it reminds me to treasure every moment we're given.
