Solitude
Solitude is the discovery of love within attunement—the devotion to observing, photographing, and living fully in a world of my own.
Whether NYC or Barbados, I wandered alone with my camera, headphones on, completely immersed. The world slowed, revealing details and beauty that moved through me.
Every time I press the shutter, it’s as if my lens, my environment, and I are making love—for that split second, a reminder that we are all one.
Solitude is not loneliness. It is connection—with my craft, with what surrounds me, with the rhythms of life.
During this time, I was learning, experimenting, discovering my visual language. Developing my first rolls of film, printing and scanning everything myself. Each photograph became a dialogue, a reflection of the love I was cultivating for seeing, for making something tangible out of fleeting beauty.
This is a meditation on presence, and the joy of being in conversation with oneself and the world. Romantic and cinematic. Solitude is simultaneously private and universal.
