First Person Singular is a study in presence of what it means to occupy space alone, to be both witness and subject within the same frame. Each photograph isolates a single figure, not as a portrait of identity, but as a means of projection. The individual becomes interchangeable, almost anonymous, allowing the viewer to step into the scene rather than simply observe it.

Working in black and white removes the distraction of color and collapses time, placing each image in a suspended, ambiguous moment. Light and shadow take on narrative weight: illumination reveals, but just as often obscures; darkness is not absence, but tension, an active force pressing in on the subject.

The environments—urban corridors, weathered interiors, thresholds between inside and out—are not backdrops but psychological extensions. They echo the internal state of the figure: isolation, resistance, introspection, or quiet defiance. The recurring motif of a solitary body suggests both vulnerability and autonomy, a confrontation with self that is at once intimate and universal.

This work is not about who the subject is. It is about the act of standing alone and being seen or choosing not to be.
