I love moody and melancholy images and I feel these parts of myself come through naturally in photography. This work is a self portrait series imagining myself as an unknown lover in a hyper-reality. Are these photos from the other person’s point of view point or are they out of body observations of myself? I like the idea of the work being interpreted any which way, only allowing context in the form of the title and image.

Solace
~ by Anna WalczakA story about cozy feeling. A long time ago a girl met a boy. He was not really the type of guy, who was meant for her. She was very rare, and he was not really familiar with taking care of a gem such as her.

Solace
~ by Savannah van der NietIsolation gives fruit to contemplation
realisation. We see spikes and charts
curves and arcs, and a dove
appears on the balcony bearing
no twig in it’s beak.

Madrid, May 5th
~ by Eni Dade, Madrid

It has been 55 days of cuarantine in Madrid. Me and my girlfriend go through anxiety attacks in our apartment. There's grief for the dead amidst disease and abandonment. Sometimes we fight and I can only find solace in the shadow play on the walls of the rooms she storms out of. These walls have only recently been conquered.

Selfportrait

These are the works from my Selfportrait series of paintings. My work is based on exploration and here it's based on exploring myself as a way of introspection, meditation and contemplation as a way of solace.

Growing up in Los Angeles meant that I never really understood the term 'small town' until I visited my then-fiancee's hometown of Bridgend in South Wales. Now that most of the UK's mines have shut down, Bridgend has been reduced to a shell of it's former self, and wandering around documenting it's dormant cafes was a melancholy dream. Though re-relocating to Berlin during this particular time was (legally) meant to be isolating, it doesn't hold a candle to everyday life in South Wales -a place without all of the trimmings one needs to maintain a schedule with enough social obligations necessary to ignore and ultimately forget the self.

My grandmother is my solace in times of darkness. She is not alive anymore but remembering her stories always warms my heart. As it’s the month of May, she always puts yellow wild flowers to repulse the wild spirits, today I am carrying those blossoms and as I stick them on the door crack my sorrow is smoothed by the fantasy of her presence.
