Melancolia
Melancolía is an ongoing project in which I explore the ideas of nostalgia, melancholy, and longing. It feeds from the rhetorical question in Latin Ubi sunt qui ante nos fuerunt, “Where are those who were before us?”. This question speaks of the passing of time, the ephemeral quality that life possesses, here represented by the imagery of chairs in quotidian spaces, which draws a connection to these themes and feelings by reflecting on the philosophical connotations that an empty chair is embedded with. The piece for my Final Year Project results in a book that attempts to further develop this narrative by using text, self-portraiture, and photographs of lonely chairs, which I have encountered throughout the last five years.
