A lone figure on a wide beach at low tide under a heavy clouded sky, a pier in the distance, in sepia.
A stone jetty with a tall column reaching into a rippled sea, two small figures walking along it.

It is bliss to have such moments because the only way to become better is to know where you are and where you want to be. And to know where you are and who you are, you have to understand your past events, link memories and emotions. You can only do this by being alone with yourself.

Solitude comes from the Latin word solitudinem, which means “loneliness,” but if you have moments of solitude that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re lonely. The word solitude carries the sense that you’re enjoying being alone by choice. Alone on the beach coast of the Ocean.

Dan St. Andrei’s artworks are marked by an obsession with the ocean; the artist spent 7 years on Portuguese beaches, enough time to merge with the states of the great Atlantic.

Solitudem Atlantico is a photography project focusing on a wide view of the evolution of scenery. From pristine landscapes to humanity’s play with the world. A look at the harmony, growth and desertion of people to their environments.
