18x18 Photograph on Canvas. | In her poignant photography exhibit, "Crushed," artist Beth Achenbach harnesses the evocative power of everyday objects to confront the hidden trauma that festers within us. She salvages discarded aluminum cans and plastic bottles, bearing the scars of neglect and abuse, as emblems of human suffering. Achenbach's photographs capture these objects as silent witnesses to the pain, abandonment, and heartbreak that often remain unexpressed. The artist's work challenges the societal norm of suppression, urging us to acknowledge the profound consequences of unexpressed pain. | About the artist - Beth Achenbach, is a photographer based in Jersey City. She believes still life photography presents a unique challenge in transforming ordinary objects into captivating compositions; she is drawn to those subjects with intricate textures, vibrant colors, and revealing folds that have anamorphic qualities, resembling human expressions or gestures. She strives to breathe life into her images and aims to create "visual poetry” that evokes personal narratives and emotional connections for her viewers. http://www.achenbachart.com/ | Retail value: $250+ | The piece can be picked up in Jersey City.

Zach Miller is a professional actor and voice teacher currently based in Manhattan. He holds a B.F.A. in musical theatre from Penn State University, where he also studied in Bel Canto/Can Belto, a cross-training technique for singing in musical theatre and pop/rock styles. In his studio, Zach loves to make geeky vocal technique talk fun and easy to digest. His goal is to inspire his students to reach beyond having a basic understanding of physiological vocabulary (i.e. resonance, register balance, breathing) and, instead, discover how this terminology is applied to their unique voice and can help them become a more confident singer. As someone who comes from a performing background, he finds it helpful to meet acting intentions with technical exercises. He encourages honest, moment to moment song performance and believes the ability to use one’s voice is a powerful tool to serve storytelling and tactics. | www.zachmillervoicestudio.com | Retail Value: $220
