We often find ourselves drowning in thought as the night comes to fruition, seeking out moments of clarity within the inability to rest. This body of work explores the journey of the insomniac, grappling with the loss of sleep, wandering through the bleakness of the night. My photos represent the isolation of the individual and the seclusion of the night leading to a sense of self-reflection, where brief moments of clarity are juxtaposed against moments of anguish. Urban street light is contrasted against the blurred figure, inviting the audience to interpret the work in a manner that resonates with them.
