Submission Photography

Solo

Solo is a collection of pictures from my personal archive of photos I took over the last 10 years. In this time I dealt with mental problems for some years. I suffer from recurring depressive episodes. Sometimes these episodes cause an anxiety disorder with agoraphobia. In these periods of time I was unable to leave the house alone. When I finally was able to do this, after months of practicing in therapy, I felt very powerful and brave being out in the world by myself. But I was still a little shaky.

These pictures were not taken with the intent of becoming a series. However, looking back I believe they are. A series of examples for myself, to see people alone in public space, to see that it is ok. Taken at a time that I intuitively needed to document these examples to overcome my challenges.
