This series explores a sense of isolation within open and quiet environments. I’m interested in how spaces that appear expansive and empty can still feel heavy, distant, and slightly unsettling.

All of the images are in black and white, which allows me to focus more on light, structure, and atmosphere. Removing color also creates a kind of emotional distance, making these places feel less like specific locations and more like reflections of an internal state.

Across the series, there are moments where a figure appears, but often very small, almost absorbed into the space. Other times, the space is completely empty. This balance between presence and absence becomes important,  it emphasizes a quiet disconnection between the individual and their surroundings.

Many of the images suggest direction,  a horizon, a path, an open body of water, but they never lead to a clear destination. Instead, they feel suspended, as if something is about to happen, but never fully does.

I think of these spaces as being “in between.” They are not clearly an ending or a beginning. Like a door that is slightly open, they could be an exit, or they could lead somewhere else entirely. That uncertainty is intentional. Rather than giving a fixed meaning, the work leaves space for the viewer to decide what these places represent.

I’m within and without.
