***Wanderlust***
I was asked to do a series of images taking visitors through the journey of my own story told with the theme Wanderlust. This is my interpretation. My journey of mind, self-discovery, the daily fight to overcome the fear of my current state of fragility.
This series has me with a broken bulb as a head and a brain full of moths. Two images have me alone wandering at dusk using the light play with moths casting shadows blocking my faint glow. In the last image, I am fearlessly standing behind my shield (Camera) facing a bear (Covid)
I don't know if any of you can understand that when I hold my camera in RL I am fearless. I am confident, focused, and excited. I feel alive! I would wake excited to relive those moments as I fumbled to retrieve my SD card from my Nikon. Photography was a daily high. I miss it so much. I miss people and gatherings. I miss seeing my friends, my family. I miss seeing smiles. It's a deep ache that won't go away and it scares me.
Seems I was so busy trying not to die from Covid that I stopped doing the things that made me feel alive.
Is everybody lonely?
Is everybody scared?
Is everybody worried
That no one really cares?
See I'm afraid to love, but afraid to be alone
Still I wonder why my heart is always broke
What a way to live, let the fear take all control
Oh, this ain't life, no
I'm not alive
Are we all the same?
Looking for love, looking for love
Are we all in chains?
Trying to be enough, be enough
I'm trying to write my perfect story
I'm working nights, I'm working days
To prove the world that I am worthy
Of being seen, of being praised
'Cause I'm afraid to show the people who I am
I'm not special, I'm just a simple broken human
SO I WILL HIDE MY FACE WITH MY PICTURE-PERFECT MASK
Oh, this ain't life, no
It's just a lie
Are we all the same?
Looking for love, looking for love
Are we all in chains?
Trying to be enough, be enough
Woah ah
If I looked you in the eye
And showed the broken things inside
Would you run away?
Would you run away?
Woah ah
If you saw my darkest parts
The wicked things inside my heart
Would you run away?
Or are you the same?
