Alone
Yosemite, 2021
Cold blues, barren trees, snowy ground and empty space. Paints a beautiful and hauntingly real picture. Funny when photos depict a mood, unexplainable but familiar - at the end of the day we are just tiny people in the grander scheme of things, in the vastness of the world.
Still, anyone who has felt invisible in a crowded space, been overlooked, unheard even when screaming at the top of their voices, know it - you don’t need a haunting set up to feel alone. People, their judgment, their expectations do that to you.
It took me years of unlearning to appreciate that the vastness meant being a part of this without abiding by the society’s expectations. Ultimately, to embrace the solitude and find beauty within my world.

31 is the new 21
Udaipur, 2021
I took this photograph on my 31st birthday this year at a place I’ve wanted to visit for the last 5 years. Until that day, I thought my peak years to travel the world were long gone because that's what everyone tells you. After being stuck at home for 16 months during a global pandemic, taking in this view made me realise that this was just the beginning of the new life I wanted to build for myself. I’m only getting started on the places I want to see, the things I want to do and the people I want to meet.
Fades Away
Archipelagos of Gothenburg, 2018
I felt a sense of familiarity as soon as I started walking towards the beach. Vague memories of the time I spent in California came rushing back and I realised that a lot has changed since. The one thing that won’t change is me coming back to you.
Hey Brother
San Francisco, 2017
I felt a sense of familiarity as soon as I started walking towards the beach. Vague memories of the time I spent in California came rushing back and I realised that a lot has changed since. The one thing that won’t change is me coming back to you.
Fade Into Darkness
Joshua Tree, 2013
This world can seem cool and grey
But you and I are here today
And we won't fade into darkness
One of the first few songs that I’d ever heard by Avicii was Fade Into Darkness. It quickly became a part of my on-the-bus playlist on my way to art school. It was the first time I found myself resorting to music for peace of mind. Listening to this song has become a ritual of sorts ever since. My safe space to drown out the outside world and be in a place where everything slows down. Whenever I’m in a crowded place I use this song to drown out the noise.
This sunset at Joshua Tree was one of those moments.
Without You
Stockholm, 2018
'I’ve gotta learn how to love without you
I’ve gotta carry my cross without you'
The music in the first 15 seconds of Avicii's 2017 Hit, Without You ft. Sandro Cavazza gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. There hasn’t been a single instance where I haven’t teared up listening to this part of the song and cried for the rest of it since April 2018.
I took this shot from the top of the Stockholm City Hall tower on a gloomy morning in August 2018. The faded horizon to me is a sign that there’s a world out there waiting for me to move on from all the hurt and that I need to learn to love and live without you. I'm done sitting home. I'm going to tear this city down without you. I'd like to think this is all of us who loved Tim singing it back to him.
