This set of photographs is a representation of one’s time alone. While focusing on what appears to be a single individual, the state of feeling content is portrayed.

In times of turning seasons, our moods tend to shift. We feel differently when the days have a shorter amount of sunlight but seem much more lengthy in time. Each photograph focuses on the body language reflecting the moods of the colder months, as well as an array of elements that surround us in a consistently dismal atmosphere. The characteristics that piece together whatever type of tone being perceived is simple. It is a feeling to which

one can relate.

Simply put, we often fail to stop and find the ability to fully compose ourselves.
