Uri Reis, a photographer originally from Gran Canaria and now based in Tenerife, recently won an award at the LUX Professional Photography Awards 2025. She was honored in the Junior category for her series called Ánima.
Her series, created in Fuerteventura, uses its images to explore a deeper understanding of reality and existence. Reis uses images in a surprising way to capture what we normally can't see, making us question the limits of our perception. Much like philosopher María Zambrano's concept of 'poetic reason,' her work suggests we open our senses to a 'fifth dimension,' embracing the irrational, emotional, and intimate. This approach aims for a complete understanding of humanity and the world.
The LUX Awards, organized by the Association of Professional Photographers of Spain (Afpe), celebrate the best in professional photography. They honor photographers who show exceptional creativity and skill in their work.
