Wright Schickli, was selected by

Lost and Found online-only monthly exhibition.
Lost and Found is an is an international juried group exhibition exploring the concept of abandoned, lost, or forgotten people, places, and things. In creative parlance, a
found object is an item
lost by its owner and
rediscovered by chance or circumstance by another. The found object is typically granted significance in the mind's eye of the finder if they determine the relic to hold intrinsic value or symbolic qualities.
The Jurors were the Directors of the Chateau Gallery.
The on-line only exhibition will take place September 1, 2023 through October 1, 2023, and honors will be announced during the exhibition.

About
Swept Away, Wright says:
I captured this image a couple days after I snapped my iPhone color image that recently was accepted for Praxis Gallery’s The Found Object exhibit. I went back with my color Leica for some more photos and converted this one, my favorite, to B&W. I see many symbolic things in the shadows and texture of the creek, perhaps a Genie popping out of the mouth of a large sea creature with a girl’s bicycle that had been swept away? I see the shadows, face and hair of the Genie, or perhaps that is the spirit of the girl whose bike was swept away?
Set in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky’s Historic Old Louisville Historic Preservation District, The Chateau Gallery is a contemporary hybrid art gallery with a narrative as captivating as the artwork housed within its walls. The building's unique Chateauesque Victorian architecture lends credence to the gallery's name, known informally as “The Chateau.”
