The strange case of love & death

I was thinking about a good title for the project. It’s one of my favorite parts of the creative process. Also the hardest one. I have never been a good talker. It’s a pitty since I find words to be fascinating and I’m always amazed by people who can use them well. I’m an avid reader and always keep a book filled with words and sentences that strikes me the most. That’s one of the many reasons why I became a photographer; what I can’t express in words, I do in photographing. Maybe that’s why I like to come up with titles for my projects. Sometimes I come up with the title before the actual project. It’s like; What can I create based on these words? On the emotion that these words bring in me?

When the pandemic started I was terrified. I felt so alone. I just came out from a relationship and had only my parents to lean on which of course I was so anxious about them getting sick. In the middle of this chaos I found someone who I fell deeply in love with. This was indeed a strange case. I was sorrrounded by death. The death of people, the death of a relationship and in the middle of it all a new love came by.
