Solitude

Solitude is an artistic photography album exploring the human experience of loneliness in a bustling urban environment. Across 62 pages of unposed images, Sabrina de Rita and Israel Hintayev capture fleeting, delicate moments of people, streets, and hidden corners throughout the city of Haifa. The photographs do not embellish or dramatize; instead, they convey emotional honesty and quiet intensity.
The book grew from a shared creative journey – two artists, two cameras, and two perspectives – walking the city together in search of solitude without being consumed by it. The result is both a vivid urban document and an intimate artistic experience, inviting viewers to slow down and notice what everyday life often overlooks. Solitude is ideal for lovers of Haifa, photography enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone drawn to contemporary visual art that speaks quietly yet profoundly.
