"My Lonely Astronaut" series is an extraordinary fusion of surrealism, nostalgia, and emotional depth. Through hauntingly beautiful self-portraits, I transform myself into a solitary astronaut placed in abandoned spaces, creating a visual narrative that speaks to themes of isolation, memory, and humanity’s relationship with both time and the environment.

More than just a photography project, "The Lonely Astronaut" serves as a meditation on loss, personal grief, and the larger existential questions that define human existence.

    This is neither decaying, nor abandoned.

    This has to be my favourite. The combination of those colours and that pose in the church environment goes beyond just a good picture and into social commentary.
