Seasons of Solitude

“Solitude is a silent storm that breaks down our dead branches yet sends roots deeper into the living heart of the living earth.” Kahlil Gibran

With my latest body of work, I used the universal lens of the Covid-19 pandemic to explore facets of isolation and solitude. Moving away from my disposition towards traditional portraiture featured in my previous exhibitions, I looked to expand my practice and delve into the world of conceptual photography in the Seasons of Solitude.

Through my in depth research, I gleaned that while common threads may interweave our perspectives on the subject matter, our feelings on solitude as well as how we perform aloneness, are multi-faceted and encompass an amalgamation of emotions. These authentic experiences and their nuances are what my diverse visuality presents to the viewer.

One may find for instance that loneliness does not require physical solitude or that joyful sentiments are not always an antithetical response to being alone. The exhibition invites the viewer to tackle the thoughts that the images provoke. There are no rules.

Season of Solitude was physically exhibited as a Solo Exhibition at Ort Gallery in 2022 and also showcased in a virtual 3D gallery.
