… anything was preferable to facing the thoughts her own mind thrust upon her. She just wanted away from what waited inside herself.
Patrick McCabe, Carn, London, Picador, 1993.
Many people today find it difficult to face the pressures of modern living, increasingly afflicted with a persistent sense of social disconnection. So often, it seems that the only option available is to turn away from life itself. The question in this case is whether or not this experience of discomfort and isolation is a result of the human condition, or if it is merely a symptom of how we live today.
These images are constructed scenes inspired by my own feelings of alienation and loneliness. In exposing my own vulnerability, these photographs endeavour to give name to the sadness; the inner turmoil, which plagues many people in today's society.
