If you really listen, there’s so much to hear. Somewhere across the lake, a duck glides silently through the water. The surface moves in soft ripples. A little further off, a bird hops through the trees — from branch to branch, a gentle crackle of twigs, barely loud enough to notice. The bird is too light, the tree too old and giving. Every creature is in its own space, and yet, none of them feel lonely.
Being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. It means being with yourself. Photographed by Hannes Windrath sstarring the wonderful Irina, this series is a quiet ode to the beauty of solitude — to being in nature, in your own skin, in your own rhythm. A reminder that we don’t always need more. Sometimes, we just need less.
Hannes Windrath, also contributed to our C-Heads Magazine “Remember those golden days” Volume #36. This issue explores the pursuit of happiness — one of the most persistent of all human clichés. Everybody, throughout history, has been searching for it, selling it, finding it, and losing it. Happiness is what keeps us going. What helps us forget the hardships. It distracts us from the tragedy and finiteness of life. Happiness is like the drug that keeps us alive.
