Hispanic artist David Bru knows a thing or two about long distance relationships. A continuous change of place, a feeling of strangeness along with nostalgia that comes with a long-distance love, injects a kind of rareness into the ordinary. Everyday things, usually perceived as familiar by the couple, suddenly become unsettling. These images from David’s series Disreality illustrates a different range of moods, the majority about fear and a melancholic perception of my surroundings.
