isolation portraits

Last Thursday 14th of May I had the last two sessions of my Isolation Portraits Project.

The total lockdown in Ireland is over since Monday 18th, so it made sense to finish my project just before it.

The lockdown in Ireland is coming close to an end, so this is the penultimate blog post with my beloved Isolation Portraits.

It’s been quite a trip down to memory lane, meeting all these friends during the last two months. I’ve been sharing with you pieces of my life and heart, just because.

We live into the illusion that because we see each other’s photos on social media, we are still connected. Even those who don’t use much social media, they know they can text you and exchange a couple of sentences once in a while and that friendship can go on like this. How sad is that?

The more I go on with this project, the more I enjoy it. Every time I speak with someone, I learn something about them or their current life and I feel really privileged to share these little pinches of personal space with those people.

This blog post goes to three countries, two continents and speaks only two languages, the ones closest to my heart: Italian and Spanish.

Each one of the friends I’m introducing to you, reminds me of  how many different people I have been. How many personas I wore. But I can also see my own pattern.
