Solitude

Loneliness, solitude,isolation, withdrawal, quarantine - in many terms a descriptive state of a person who, for various reasons, physically and / or mentally withdraws into his intimacy. It has positive and negative connotations, depending on the socio-political background and personality orientation.
The fact is that it is difficult to find this time in a busy everyday life - moreover, many people do not even tolerate the silence and peace that isolation from the social environment brings. With the photographs in the series, the author replays various aspects of the self that carry a much wider temporal and mental connotation than the currently commanded physical distancing.


Andreja Ravnak was born in 1976 in Celje. By profession she is an architect, a graduate of the Faculty of Architecture in Ljubljana, a creator, adventurer, lover of nature, the planet and the universe from an early age. Photography accompanies her from an early age in terms of self-reporting, as she remembers most of her life only through photographs. Since 2009, she has received numerous international awards (for just under 100 different photographs) and has had ten solo photographic exhibitions.
