We all seek to make our own paths, we find ourselves alone when choosing and sometimes we choose to travel  through our experiences in a more solitary way. There, where loneliness finds us in silence and waiting, wanting to accept ourselves, singing without anyone listening, present in our time. In our silence, where we allow ourselves to exist and our feelings are not submissive to imposition, we are reborn. ​

 

   There are several people who choose to live in a remote place, behind a large forest and surrounded by the sea. Enchanted with the light of the lighthouse and with each storm that passes behind. Protected against change, denied to the speed of time and seduced with the idea of ​​staying. Few end up doing it. Cabo Polonio spends most of the year in silence, oblivious to distant views, in a state of introspection and calm. Distant, isolated and protected by the forest and a few kilometers from the border with Brazil, the town offers its most genuine face. ​

 

   "Sorry for this long silence" is an intimate look at human relationships, time, loneliness and freedom. A search for experiences to promote a more diverse look at the places we inhabit. Framed in a series of portraits taken during the months of March to December, between 2018 and 2021 with several of the people who live in the town of Cabo Polonio, on the east coast of Uruguay.
