This is a photographic short story about living alone in rural Ireland. Shot over six months in a remote part of Ireland, the series combines some staged imagery with real images of rooms where people lived and died on their own. The story borders fiction and reality, and presents a psychological story of poverty and reclusiveness often at odds with literary and romanticised ideals regarding solitude.
