You Can Call It Homeless Love is a sensual and poetic photographic narrative about loneliness and longing. It explores the experience of being involuntarily alone and the deep yearning for love and intimacy. Through images of skin, hair, lips, fragile flowers, a body in motion, organic shapes, and delicate surfaces, the longing to belong is visualized.
The project consists of 88 photographs in a 124-page photobook.

The project centres on my personal experience of the loneliness that arises from having been single for most of my adult life, and the longing for intimacy and love that comes with it. At the same time, it reflects the still present taboo in society of being a woman above thirty without partner and child. How does one find their place in a society built around couples and relationships? And why must one constantly explain that this loneliness is neither a conscious choice nor a rejection, but simply a circumstance?
In a world focused on performance and perfection, it has become increasingly difficult to talk about what makes us vulnerable. In my artistic work, I aim to challenge this by acknowledging the strength in sharing vulnerability—because it is precisely in this exchange that we come closer together and can better understand ourselves and the world around us.

The story unfolds in a photobook composed of abstract motifs, faceless self-portraits, images of unknown places, and words. It shifts between vibrant colours and delicate tones, forming a strong visual concept that centres on my personal experience. The project is a self-exploratory investigation into how these, sometimes difficult emotions are experienced internally and externally – and how they are stored in the body over time. The reader is invited into a universe that is both colourful and energetic, yet melancholic – a private space offering access to what is usually kept hidden.
