During lockdown I was alone for over 78 days so I started a mundane visual diary of the time spent alone. I also ended a relationship with someone who I cared deeply about the whole process was so extremely painful which influenced my photography and impacted on the loneliness and vulnerability

Photo description- UntitledUntil I embarked on this journey I didn’t know how much I was affected by it. How deep I have swam under it and surrendered without a fight. I voluntarily let the memory consume me through the years. But I finally found the courage to face it; with the intention I might close the door it left open for the unknown. I was abducted twice when I was four years old. Each time I was found by people who either knew me or my family. I understood the endless possibilities if the unknown had had become my reality. But I also needed to face my current self and figure how it relates to the women I wanted to portray.I began with the taught that I was fighting my own battle. But I came to realize that through my story I was also telling the story of women who daily walk the road I could have walked.

A short essay about the impossibilities of perfect reading. A text about a text which is read in front of an imaginary audience meditates on the essential question: why can´t we never be satisfied with that we write down?

Dear members of Pôstall, Hereby I send you three photos of my ongoing project 'Humans', I hope you will consider sharing it in VOL.4. I am a Dutch visual artist, currently living and working in Amsterdam. Due to me being on the spectrum (ASD) I am always observing my surroundings with an eye for detail. Like a lot of other women on the spectrum it started with copying others people’s behavior to not stand out. After I got my diagnosis at a late age, I became aware what it meant and started researching and enlarging my atypical way of looking in my art practice. With my made in wonder photosI hand over the experience of constantly having to solve puzzles to get a grip, showing human action and behavior to be confusing. Photographic means as exposure, point of view and crop are used in a way to create disorientation; unimportant details become important and positioning becomes difficult. My ‘snapshot’ looking but actual thoughtful compositions increases the viewers puzzlement. Every image raises questions, there is little guidance or certainty. They leave you with the feeling of being an observer and outsider. Thank you for taking the time to view my work. Kind regards, Marna Slappendel

There is something special about the beach because it brings people together but it can also set them adrift to a far away place. Yes, it might be too cliche, but there is something great about a cliche that are true, when you see it come to be, it baffles you like dejavú. The beach is where vulnerability comes to rest, too. The mighty ocean and the stable wall of rock withstand each other one moment and the next its calm; like old friends that get in fight. The beach is where i love to wonder.

Ophelia is an illustration that I made with Postall in mind to show off my style the best way. I usually get inspired by women, fashion, lifestyle and much more. My illustrations have clear lines, geometric patterns and strong colors. I would love to get more recognised for my work around the world! It's a tough industry and we have to support each other. Thank you Postall for doing that.

Well, usually couple selfies are not the most candid photos, except this one. Possibly it's because they didn't look at the camera. They were looking at each other, both passionately and shy at the same time. And I'm still curious, which photo was better? Mine, or his?

The Danza de los Voladores is an ancient Mesoamerican ritual still performed today in Mexico. It consists of dance and the climbing of a 30-meter pole from which four of the participants then launch themselves tied with ropes to descend to the ground, sometimes while playing a flute and a drum. According to a Totonac myth, the ritual was created to ask the gods to end a severe drought round 450 years ago. In Maya mythology, the creation of the world is associated with a bird deity (Itzamna) residing at the World Tree (the center of the world). Five "birdmen" at the top of a pole represent bird deities. The main dancer stands in the center and plays a flute, which represents the sound of birds singing. The four other "birdmen" (representing the four directions) spin around the pole to represent the recreation of the world and the regeneration of life.

I’m a hobby photographer and soon to be art student. I like to make photo’s as if they could be stills from a movie. My main focus is making ordinary people the main character in their own ordinary stories. Without communicating with them.Easily said: street photography

Iceland is a land of contrasts. Contrasts between fire and ice, warm colors and cold colors, the calm of sunny days and extreme storms, peaceful landscapes and steep reliefs, the kindness of the inhabitants and their discretion, warm waters and cold winds, the green of the mosses and the black of the volcanic rocks ... And everything pushes us to become measured, welcoming these contrasts and to feel very much alive in the middle of this environment.
