Solitude

A photography collection

Solitude explores the relationship between empty space, isolation, and the individual. Through isolated objects, sparse compositions, and vast, seemingly empty environments, these images seek to convey a sense of loneliness and the smallness of the self in relation to the world.

Yet solitude is not necessarily about absence or emptiness. The same space that makes us feel small can also reveal a sense of freedom and possibility. What initially appears as nothingness can become an open field for imagination, inviting us to consider what might exist, what might happen, and what we might find within it.

I'm drawn to this duality: the tension between the vulnerability of being alone and the quiet grandeur of the space that surrounds us. In these photographs, emptiness becomes more than a background; it becomes the subject itself.

The photographs were collected between 2008 and 2022, using digital cameras, medium and large format film cameras, and mobile phones.
