Elūl – First Edition

from £75.00

Elūl is a reckoning with a past relationship between two women, photographed across years of intimacy and returned to long after it ended. The work asks what many of us avoid asking: how closeness can coexist with absence, why attraction draws us toward what we have not yet healed, and what we begin to see in ourselves once we stop idealising the other. Its title takes its name from the Hebrew month of reflection and return. A meditation on projection, memory, and the inner work of self-repair.
