In the night, in the silence, looking for the light.⁠

I shot this image in early February, during the full moon, in the Appenines in Italy.⁠ 

May the new year be one in which you sometimes pause for a moment, looking and wondering.⁠ ⁠Thank you for following me and for your interest in my work.

I would like to thank everyone who purchased work from me last year, that is a huge appreciation!⁠ 

Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year with those you love!⁠

This series with the working title ‘Stillness’ is about my inner world and how I experience peace and quiet there and shut out the noise of the world. Which is so necessary these days, for all of us. How beautiful it is when you can get back in touch with yourself, this is what I would like to impart with my work:⁠ ⁠ At some point I woke up and felt in everything that I have become alienated from myself. Do I leave it that way out of fear or do I dare to explore my hidden self? The beginning of a transformation, allowing me to reconnect with my original self. A shift in my consciousness. Shifting my attention from the outer world to my inner world.⁠ ⁠ Going back inside to find my inner silence, which is the place where I can be myself and feel whole, calm and balanced.⁠ By connecting with my inner self, I recharge. This can be anywhere, it is not a physical place and is independent of time and space.I take the time and make the time to go back to my inner place where I feel protected and safe. Detached from the outside world and its demands.⁠ ⁠ Within us is the power to grow into who we once were. Reclaiming that power is a struggle. Letting go of who I was taught to be and coming to who I really am. It is like being born again, the birth of my new self and at the same time my old self dies. With that, I regain my freedom. I am reconnected to my instinctive nature, my wild self.⁠ ⁠ Belela, 2020⁠ Archival pigment print⁠ 20 x 25 cm⁠ Edition 8 & 2 AP⁠ ⁠ Also available in:⁠ 70 x 90 cm⁠ Edition 5 & 2 AP⁠ ⁠ Duale, 2020⁠ Archival pigment print⁠ 20 x 30 cm⁠ Edition 8 & 2 AP⁠ ⁠ Also available in:⁠ 40 x 60 cm⁠ Edition 8 & 2 AP⁠ ⁠ ⁠ The image will be framed, numbered, signed and provided with a certificate of authenticity.⁠ ⁠ DM for more info⁠ .⁠ #stillness #analogphotography #art #brusselsanalog#burndiary #callmagazine #doubleyedge #existence#femaleartist #femalegaze #fineartphotography #antwerpart#artinantwerp #fractionfeature #hartcollective#LeicaWomenFotoProject #leica #life #methamorphosis#monochrome #odtakeovers #photographmag #photovogue_features #reconnection #revolvcollective#society #thezonezine #visualpoetry #woman photography : #elizabeth_alderliesten⁠
