‘Girls and Dolls’ (Isolation)
We find ourselves – as a global community – in a challenging and unprecedented situation. Faced with such unknowns, it is entirely natural to feel anxious or destabilised.
My images was taking in Hampshire for the project ‘Girls and Dolls”(Isolation)
Loneliness it’s an epidemic in our time but different kind. Many of us lacking of the social connections. In this testing times my thoughts with the older generations who are especially vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness.
When taking a deeper look into how the elderly cope alone, I find that some gain solace in their childhood companions, these dolls once used to represent fun, joy and laughter.
Rare visits by their family members, have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. An ever-growing older population living alone, count television as their main companion.
There needs to be a change in our society of how we perceive and take care of our elderly and vulnerable.

BIOGRAPHY
I spent my early childhood surrounded by picturesque fields and mountains. This upbringing fuelled a passion in nature and moving image.
After four year at State Academy of Arts to do degree in Theatre Production, I worked as a television producer at state television for nine years.
Soon after I moved to England and have been living in the South ever since, where my growing interest in imagery led me to photography.
There are two dissimilar subject within my work which I thoroughly enjoy exploring which are portraits and a more abstract view.
In the portraits I like to bring out each subjects personality and their interests / passions or get a glimpse into intimate moments of their personal life. I also greatly enjoy the communication you have with the people when taking their photo.
The abstract work explores a dreamy and romanticised view of contemporary landscapes and the human interaction within. Through careful observation and minimal digital alteration, I create movement and patterns within the landscape, seeking out naturally occurring colour pallets.
