Noir A-Z by Julian Hibbard
S is for Solitude
Behind this image and choice of word was an idea of hide-and-seek. To my way of thinking hide and seek is a game of conflicting wishes. To be found is to lose the game but not to be found leaves one in that strange position of explaining were you were hiding all along. Somehow as we grow up in life I believe we also wish to be found and not to be found, for example in love, is to be a failure hence the reference to a feeling of solitude and childhood.
