“He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong.”
― W. H. Auden
This ongoing photo essay, a personal project, captures the raw, emotional aftermath of a breakup, using W. H. Auden’s poignant poem as a framework. It explores the deep sense of loss, disorientation, and emotional fragmentation that follows the end of a significant relationship.
Through a series of intimate and evocative portraits, I aim to convey the grief of women navigating life after heartbreak. Each image reflects a stage in the process of letting go—moments of quiet reflection, flashes of anger, and the haunting sense of absence.
