HIRAETH

HIRAETH, what does it mean? "Longing for a home which maybe never was yours to begin with. A nostalgia for a place to which we cannot return. It is now, or always has been beyond this current plane of existence. It is the echo of all lost memories and places of our soul's past and our current grief for them. It's aching and it's beauty. It is in the wind, the rocks and the rain. It is nowhere and everywhere. It is a feeling that consumes you fully and won`t ever let you go." - This is the feeling I want to convey with this project. The feeling of returning home but not really arriving. The lonely astronaut stands for every single human being that feels lost in this big world. He returned home to planet earth just to discover that nobody is here anymore. He is left with empty buildings, nature and it's wildlife. The photoseries should inspire those who got lost along the way to discover themselves and everything around them once again - as if it is a new world. The complete photoseries contains 30+ pictures in total.
