The Shape of Being Alone

This project explores the emotional terrain of detachment, isolation, and the subtle forms of loneliness that surface during solitary walks. When moving alone through a city or landscape, certain details become louder—discarded objects, long shadows, empty benches, the way light hits an unoccupied alleyway. These small, often overlooked elements become mirrors for the internal sense of being slightly removed from the world around you. Ultimately, this body of work seeks to make visible the quiet emotional residue of walking alone—those fleeting, intimate moments when the world feels close yet unreachable, familiar yet strangely distant.
