Seules: feminine plural; french for alone, by oneself.
Seules is a series of self-portraits depicting five times of the day, spent alone. Tanya Traboulsi creates, with restraint and distance, a sibling of herself. This staging of the self and its mirrored image, devoid of emotions, reflects upon the ambivalence of being, its depths as well as its disparities. Seules is a solitary reverie, a series of images that want to affirm the serenity of aloneness, introspection and tranquility achieved by the company of oneself in a world that loses all value and respect for individuality.
