This project consists of the collection of analog photographs taken from the year 2020 with the premise that they evoke loneliness and nostalgia for various reasons.

If I had to describe what 'sweet loneliness' is for me I would show this pictures.

I don't feel lonely in a regular basis, not like I used to, but time passes and this pictures have saved moments and objects. Every picture shows a sifferent situation that can only make me feel a certain way. There is the gaze of a cat waiting for his humans, objects getting rusty in cemeteries, flowers dying, flowers that appear out of nowhere, abandoned objects, commemorative objects, isolated spaces and a place in ruins.

There is a link to my heart in every picture and I tried to show it through the lens. I also know that there are other hearts linked to those pictures.

'When I see you I think of sweet loneliness' is simply a personal project that reminds me why I love to take pictures and to be a photographer.
