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.
