Melinda Craik, Fragments of a Winter Dream (PEOPLE 2026)

I’ve always been fascinated by how we hide ourselves away when it gets cold. I wanted to capture that feeling of being completely bundled up, where the only thing left of 'you' is your eyes. For me, this photo is about that quiet, focused moment of looking out at a winter world from a place of warmth.
