Studying arts at an Advanced level since 2017, Sheldon had also won the first prize in the Dreams of Beijing Olympics Art Competition in 2008. His work mainly revolves around local themes especially those related to Maltaâs cultural heritage.
âMy choice of photo was shot with an old, rusty and forgotten Agfa box camera I found in my grandmotherâs storage room. I had tried to capture a unique view of Msidaâs parish church reflecting onto the sea but the resulting negative showed what appeared to have been taken over 50 years ago.
Photography is a memoir, where subjects are frozen in time and eventually, I will look back and reflect on the changes.â
