It's not scary when you are alone, scary when you are zero. No matter how inspiring, inspiring and encouraging this phrase may sound, being alone is actually very scary. Maybe it's not so much scary as sad and insulting, dreary, bitter and dejected. And if women, by their nature, try to stick together, then men, like proud lone wolves, move away from the team and withdraw into themselves. About this - a series of photos from Wes naman, which is called Lonely Man … Alas, women do not understand what kind of thoughts are wandering in the minds of men, when they deliberately refuse to have a family and children, preferring loneliness. Someone chooses such a fate for themselves, someone becomes a victim of circumstances, someone is "helped". But in the end, each of them is lonely and sad, and deeply unhappy. Some are afraid of losing their freedom, but with age they become hostages of this freedom, which is so much around that one cannot cope. Others feel that they are not yet ready to take responsibility for the other person. Over time, this prospect ceases to seem so frightening, only the years take their toll, strength and health are not the same, and the question "why do I need all this" no, no, but will pop up in my thoughts.
In his photos, Ves Naman captured sad single men alone with their beer and chips, fast food and crowded ashtrays, unwashed socks and dirty T-shirts. A pile of garbage in the kitchen and living room, food mixed with scraps, unmade bed and unkempt hair - the picture is, to put it mildly, depressing. Though stereotypical.
Presumably, many other men who have chosen a bachelor life are happy with the choice and live very merrily and happily, but the Lonely Man series demonstrates the other side of the coin, gloomy and unfriendly, full of melancholy and despair, the threshold of apathy, depression, despondency. You can get acquainted with the work of this talented extraordinary author on his website.
