, all started with a photo she took a couple summers back of her brother Liam lying by the pool. “He was sleeping and I thought he looked so sweet.

Love and loneliness are emotions constantly at the fore of modern life, and although we’re all too familiar with the reasons why we all can feel entirely connected yet completely detached from those around us, the nuances of how this can be experienced aren’t always articulated convincingly.
The resulting story takes in a spectrum of different experiences. A sleeping body wrapped in a duvet, a bustling nightclub, a child crying at the table. The story Sam seeks to tell across these images is that, whatever point in life you’re at, whatever environment you’re placed in, love and loneliness intersect in curious, unpredictable ways. “I read somewhere -- the quiet part of the song is a part of the song -- which represents very well this project and what I try to say with my images.
“I guess the most challenging thing in the end for me is to have something that is truthful and personal but not too personal that people feel excluded from it. It’s about finding a way to translate an emotion that feels intimate and specific to your story so that the person looking sees in it their own.”
