Festa Das Cruzes
PERSONAL PROJECTFueled by a desire to uncover and embrace my cultural roots, I make frequent trips back to the motherland. Visits transcend mere explorations, becoming immersive experiences where I lose myself in the richness of my mother tongue. Going back becomes more than just a simple trip back home - it’s about understanding what makes my country. This specific set of images documents the festivities from the northern town of Barcelos during the ‘Festa das Cruzes’. The set of photographs is a glimpse into the collective spirit that these sacred traditions cultivate, ultimately binding the country together.
