Separation in Stillness, 2023.
I dream of summer through the rest of the year. Anticipating passion, indulgence, relaxation, and at the center, a romanticized version of myself that embodies those feelings. However, when summertime eventually rears its head, it often falls short of these visions. While the world may be rising out of a cold winter, my mind remains occupied. I frequently struggle with living too much in my headspace; feeling a sense of dissociation between myself and my environment. While I envision summer as the cure to all that ails me, these feelings remain, newly accompanied by a sense of guilt for my mental shortcomings. Separation in Stillness is a series of self-portraits that were taken to symbolize a state of dissociation during summer and its contrast with the idealized summer in my mind.
