does it hurt you? does it ache? is it a place? is

does it hurt you? does it ache? is it a place? is it a person? an adventure? personally, the past two years have been an enormous philosophical investigation into intimacy, closeness, longing and proximity. I’ve been asked by a friend a while ago to describe the most intense feeling, she told me for her it’s “anger” and I kept thinking about her question a lot, and I thought, my answer would be “longing” — it’s beautiful yet intense, it can work for you and against you, it can drown you and drive you, all at once. why could it be shameful sometimes? unspeakable? frightening? this yearning for human intimacy, or the longing for a home you never knew, or maybe longing for a disrupted life adventure. This “unreachable experience” and “beautiful void” could be one of the most intense feelings for me.

I’ve been inspired by many to create this photo series to try and paint that feeling. The technical aspect of it / we often end up with long shutter shots by mistake, but having the light drag after the subject here is of importance to the portrayal of that feeling to me.

 I feel like the most exciting part about life is decay, the fact that it’s not going to last, that it might be the only life I’ll ever live this way. The intertwining parts between physical and mental, is interesting. I can’t guarantee I’ll ever see my grandmother holding a cigarette like this in any other time or place, the pigeons she feeds at her window, the mattress laid in the sun, my bird’s tiny feet, will I ever see these details in the same manner in any other life but this?   I’ve loaded the film on my camera and tried to intentionally capture the details I love the most, I feel like there’s a certain type of intimacy with B&W films that is quite unmatched.   📸 Thank you @grainsandsuch @darkroomamman for development and digital scanning.

Seeing something like this from the window ✈️

Seeing something like this from the window ✈️ these lego pieces hold my whole life, every human i’ve ever known, the home i’ve lived in my whole life, so many lives and its all as small as a pixel, so trivial and yet so significant. It’s a beautiful dichotomy ♡

viewfinder observations — amman. It’s fascinating the details and the stories encapsulated in these scenes surrounding us. I enjoy capturing them when I have the chance, and thought I’d share some of them here ♡
