A self-portrait series inspired by the 1883 poem Solitude (text below) by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. In this work I explore feelings of both contentment and anxiety in solitariness. In dialog with the speaker of the poem, I question whether solitude and isolation always lead to loneliness or can we also be content with comforting ourselves, alone, even in death.
