Home Alone Part 3 Shadows


This is another photographic essay capturing the images around me and expressing the loneliness these images express during this period of COVID-19 pandemic.   It is a world of light and shadows.



Photography is my means of seeing and dealing with this world that seems to be comprised of light and shadows.  During this time of voluntary isolation from the virus, I find my self in a Yin and Yang situation, trying to balance my isolation in this constant conflict.





The morning begins with slivers of light creeping on to the walls from the world outside.  It is a world I seem to find myself separated from.   I have become increasing aware of this dance of light and shadows and I try to capture each of their movements.  The shadows appear to fracture the objects around me as the light becomes more intense. 





It has become an obsession of creative ways to photographically visualize the various shadows that have invaded my environment.   And, in doing so, I have become acutely aware of me.  Photography, therefore, has become my visual poetry of this penetrating darkness that seems to be the normality right now.
