The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2017
On his own
The photographic series entitled 'On His Own' shows a human as an individual, as a loner in a large space that surrounds them. The purpose of this series is to draw attention to the state of being alone, just with one’s own self. Very often, the viewers blame photographers for showing the sad picture of loneliness. I show this loneliness as something peculiar, something entirely human. Because every one of us, whether lonely or living in a happy relationship and having their own family, needs their moment of loneliness, the moment of devoting attention to themselves, to their own thoughts and reflections.
