Phantom 2019
Lighting the cake in the kitchen before carrying it through to the enthusiastic singing. There's a quietness to these moments that are quite private and unremarkable. The weight of sadness/solitude or small joy in a flash of time feels like the world has stopped. I used to wonder what my mum did when we weren't there, assumed she probably slept. Alone my home and the air in it settles. This is what loneliness feels like, this is relief.
Our home changed considerably this year, the dynamic of it. There was so much quiet that you had to listen for over the fighting. It was like a venom had entered our bloodstreams, I became grateful for the times when I'd be lonely.
The Phantom project is a collection of photographs taken within our home.
