THE STILLNESS OF VACANCY
The Stillness of Vacancy is a deeply personal photographic collection reflecting the artist's battle with addiction and their ongoing recovery journey. Beginning in 2013, this body of work evolved from a necessity for livelihood into a profound exploration of isolation, transformation, and hope. The photographs capture vacant homes, hallways, and doors, symbolizing the emptiness of addiction, the uncertainty of recovery, and the potential for change in stillness.
This collection invites reflection not just for those in recovery, but for anyone who has found beauty in overlooked, ordinary moments. The images emphasize the quiet beauty of spaces in transition, reminding viewers that even in emptiness, there is room for growth and renewal. Through this visual narrative, the artist shares their personal journey, encouraging others to find meaning in the silent, transitional spaces of life.
