““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).

In modernity, everything is open and shared. The private is the stage for exposure on social networks. We are watched by technologies that do not allow us any intimacy. Enjoying silence and privacy becomes increasingly rare.

Solitude consists of natural elements and textures photographs that join self-portraits in search for the scarce and stillness. The work refers to the state of voluntary isolation and proposes the reunion with silence and nature in the search for human and personal identity. The gestures and poses in the images refer to the anxieties and uncertainties of this search.
