It's very common to hear about great love stories, how good it feels to be in love and how people should go after it, this happens because we are unconsciously led by ourselves to emphasize mainly the positive things, and consequently little is said about the other aspects of the journey that precedes the destination.
From this comes the idea of representing in images, the journey that preceded the relationship I live today and its different phases that, in addition to the good times, also involved the internal battles, the constant doubts, the questioning and the paradox of desires that I felt during this process.
I believe that besides the journey being as important as the destination, it is also important to acknowledge that:
“Quem somos e quem nos tornamos depende, em parte, de quem amamos. Mas quem amamos depende, igualmente, de quem somos, e de quem queremos ser”

The aesthetics of this series has colors that help showcase the feelings portrayed in each moment. It is mostly black and white as those are the tones that allow me to express myself the best.
This is an ongoing project that is ought to grow as does my real relationship.
