The Lonely Astronaut, A Series by Karen Jerzyk

Karen Jerzyk has a series called “The Lonely Astronaut” that explores concepts of loneliness and isolation, using ironically placed astronauts, like an abandoned home, a derelict bus, and a retro laundromat.

We love the juxtapositions, and the wonderfully staged scenes. You can find prints of her photographs on her website.

“I think at one time or another, we can all relate with The Lonely Astronaut—things in life can get bad, but there’s still no denying the beauty and wonder of the world, and we need to push on and keep exploring.”
