Distance Makes You

Distance has recently introduced itself into my life, I moved away from home and left all my loved ones behind. I miss them of course, but I could never say it, not as clearly as I wish anyway. An emotional distance may seem like a small thing at first, but slowly it grows and feeds off each unsaid word.

Be careful of the unsaid things, look for them and when you find them say them loudly to make sure that the creature waiting hungrily in the dark dies of starvation. With these photos I wanted to show that though we may be heading in different directions, we can still maintain our closeness with even the smallest of gestures.
