title
River [Negative Island]
The title comes from the saying "no man is an island", as I believe nostalgia, related to solitude as it may seem, is something that brings people together, when they try to express it, at a deeper and more meaningful level.
"the longing is always there, and the need to express it goes beyond our power or fear, reasoning or cynicism. It’s what we all do, in a large number of ways, for all of our lives. It’s what defines us, ultimately, as human beings, and many see it as a mark of the soul."

"Negative Island" is, basically, a long-term project on longing (nostalgia), using images of places (here, the river), things, and situations prone to inspire this state and to bring back core memories that shaped the way we see ourselves and the world.The title comes from the saying "no man is an island", as I believe nostalgia, related to solitude as it may seem, is something that brings people together, when they try to express it, at a deeper and more meaningful level.
