The gift for anyone who has ever been human
Loneliness is the most universal of all feelings — and yet most people believe they are alone in it. On Loneliness shows that this is not so: through heartfelt interviews and captivating portrait photography by Julia Hawkins, people speak whose lives have been shaped by isolation — and who have found unexpected paths to understanding and connection. The book leaves a feeling of consolation and relief. As a gift for people you want to show that you see them — and that they are not alone.
Photography as language
On Loneliness is also a visual book: Julia Hawkins' portrait photographs give the people in the book a face and a dignity. Together with the interviews, the result is a work that is simultaneously personal and universal — a book you do not forget.
