There are moments when the night comes when everyone can't sleep. For some, it's the pain of their first love, for some it's parting with their family, and for others it's the absence of a dream. Each of us encounters insomnia for a variety of reasons, both minor and major, but when we put these reasons together, there are abstractions that are universally tied together. Confusion, hurt, pain, longing, loneliness, emptiness, etc. I try to image these abstract emotions. I've been working on over 400 photos on this subject over the past 6 years, and I'm still working on it.
