I started photographing abandoned things during my 22nd summer with my camera to combat the feeling of "fear of abandonment".

For various reasons, it has always been closely tied to me, connecting moments and people in my life. As a child, I vividly remember being unable to accept leaving my mom at the entrance of kindergarten. Growing up, I witnessed her suffering after the death of my grandfather, seeing her unable to bear his absence. And even now, I see the fear in my girlfriend's eyes when we say goodbye for long periods.

Looking around me, I began to recognize it in objects, moments, and things – abandoned things.

I photographed anything that brought back that sensation, to live with that fear and fight it. The fear of being abandoned, or of abandoning.

The photos are vertical to give the viewer the idea of something leaning, abandoned to itself, still, waiting.
