My Loneliness Brings Beauty to Life

My Loneliness Brings Beauty to Life

2021/2023, film photography, 3 C-prints 30 x 40 cm, 1 C-print, 40 x 40 cm, framed

A self-portrait series that explores contentment but also anxiety in solitariness. Partly inspired by the 1883 poem Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, I set myself in dialog with the speaker of the poem with the camera as my only companion. I question whether solitude and isolation always lead to loneiliness or can we also be content with comforting ourselves, alone.
