Modern loneliness does not always look lonely.
It may wear fashionable clothes. It may possess beauty, youth, money, popularity, or thousands of followers. It may appear in magazines and accumulate admirers by the score.
Yet it remains loneliness all the same.
The great irony of our age is that we have never been more connected, and never found it so difficult to truly reach one another.
A century ago, a young woman waiting to hear from someone might have stood at a window, listened for footsteps, or watched the postman's approach. Today she stares at a glowing screen.
The technology has changed.
The feeling has not.
The anticipation.
The uncertainty.
The silent hope that a particular name will appear.
Perhaps that is why photographs such as this resonate. Beneath the fashion, beneath the glamour, beneath the carefully composed aesthetic, there exists something recognisably human.
A moment of waiting.
And if there is one thing every generation understands, it is that.
