Solitude (2013 - 2018)
““Let my solitude not destroy me. Let my solitude keep me company. Give me the courage to face myself. Let me know how to be left with the nothing and feel nonetheless as if I were filled with everything" (1)."(1).

Hoje, tudo é revelado e compartilhado. A esfera privada é palco de espetáculo nas redes sociais, enquanto somos vigiados por tecnologias que tornam a intimidade quase impossível. O silêncio e a privacidade tornaram-se raros.
Solitude é uma série fotográfica que entrelaça elementos da natureza, como texturas orgânicas, e autorretratos na busca por afastamento e quietude. O trabalho evoca o estado de isolamento voluntário como alternativa para reconectar-se com o silêncio e com natureza. Os gestos e posturas capturados nas imagens remetem às inquietações e incertezas que permeiam essa busca.

Today, everything is exposed and shared. The private sphere has become a stage for spectacle on social media, while we are surveilled by technologies that make intimacy nearly impossible. Silence and privacy have become rare. Solitude is a photographic series that weaves together elements of nature—such as organic textures—and self-portraits in a search for distance and stillness. The work evokes a state of voluntary isolation as a way to reconnect with silence and the natural world. The gestures and postures captured in the images reflect the uncertainties and inner unrest that permeate this journey.
