December 2019

I am not an articulate person, I find it difficult to explain why I took a certain photo, or the meaning behind it. All i can say is that I was in this frame of mind at the time and I think it somehow translated onto these images. 

​

Loneliness is a state of mind I have been experiencing and
reflecting on recently.

​

I am in my mid twenties, I currently live alone, I have a full time job, I have friends that are nearby and a family I can visit easily. Yet, I feel very alone. 

​

I actually enjoy being alone a lot, but like everyone it can get boring and depressing. 
This becomes very apparent to me when walking alone around the city of London. 

​

An extremely vibrant and lively city full of people, shopping, drinking, socialising. But at the same time I get the feeling that everyone is socialising within their own small bubbles. 

It feels very taboo talking to people for the sake of it in 
London, there is a lot of fear and paranoia, a lost sense of 
community. 

​

Is it a reflection of our current society in this age of media 
dominance that creates this anxiety, worsened specifically in 
London through perhaps a concoction of reserved British 
culture? 

​

Or is it a reflection of something missing within my own life?
