Elegance in Abandonment: The Art of Dying: photos, poems, prose by Seashellspells

“In what I thought would be the end of my life and destruction of everything I had worked for actually been the catalyst to my fi nest creations. I experienced the most tumultuous episodes a person can endeavor; you name it, I went through it; again and again I hit metaphorical rock bottom until my mind was a pulverized mush. Sitting there, in the silence and solitude of my dark corner, I wondered if it was karma or some practical joke that the in asylums where I chose to spend my free time, I became a prisoner of both body and mind. When I wasn’t equipped with my camera, I had my words. What you’ll see and read in Elegance in Abandonment is the outcome of those experiences.”
