My Best Friend
A perspective on the idea of becoming best friends with your solitude
The ideaWhat is it to feel loneliness?
Being alone is an inevitable part of life. Yet we often treat solitude as something to avoid, as though time spent without others must be time spent missing something.
My Best Friend begins with a different possibility: what if we learned to become best friends with ourselves?
In our own company, we can step away from the expectations and roles that come with being around other people. We are free to enjoy what we genuinely love, without needing to perform, impress or become anyone else.
Solitude, then, is not simply the absence of company. It can be the presence of freedom, curiosity and a deeper understanding of ourselves.
Alone is not the same as lonley.
I have not yet grown wise enough to deeply enjoy simple things”

A Different PerspectiveThe art of simple pleasures
We live in a world that places extraordinary value on productivity. Progress is measured in achievements, schedules and the constant pursuit of something more.
Even a simple pleasure, like lying in a hammock and watching the stars, can begin to feel underwhelming unless coupled with something deemed extraordinary by external perspectives.
Each work in this collection offers a small act of resistance to that idea. An astronaut, far removed from the noise of everyday life, enjoys an ordinary pleasure in an extraordinary place.
Watching a film. Resting in a hammock. Sitting quietly. Imagining the next moment. Nothing needs to be accomplished for the experience to be worthwhile.
