This project presents the most severe form of isolation as
loneliness that is experienced when physically surrounded by other
people. This is a specific form of loneliness that is involuntary and
imposed upon by others, creating a state of discontent characterized by
bitterness and a sense of punishment. The presence of others is what
can heighten and intensify the experience of loneliness for an
individual. These works depict figure groups wading in an infinite and
undefined body of water. I visually portray loneliness as the
experience of feeling unseen and unknown within a group.
