Individuation

The last three years of my life has seen me walk a long path - seeking, searching and hoping to make sense of my life.

The death of my mother was the big trigger. My life became empty and somewhat meaningless.

2025 - a year to be reckoned with.

This year has brought me to a point of individuation, a term coined by Carl Jung. This process has me well and truly in exile.

I am comfortable with this separation - it's my time for me. I use this time to be still, quiet, walk, read, study, think and make photos.

Making photos during this quiet time keeps me connected. I am not performing at the moment.

That is fine.

Remaining connected to life is the magic.

If every image I create is a self portrait, then I think it is fair to say I searching for me.

Beneath all the layers of social conditioning, I am waiting.

This truly is a rebirth.

Carl Jung was right; "the privilege of my life, is becoming who I truly I am".

The beauty I see in the everyday moments, is the beauty that already exisit with me.
