The geographical base in western Portugal served to initially delimit the working territory, while at the same time referring to Western society as a whole, with connotations of the American Wild West. What were once assumed to be lasting structures, literally our buildings and infrastructures, and figuratively with the establishment of the fundamental right to housing, enshrined in article 65 of the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic - are now crumbling before our eyes. Years of abandonment reflected in the scars and deformities of the territory. In the face of this fragility, he intended to portray an emerging feeling of heading towards the abyss, where our extremely individualistic Western ideals have eroded our communal identity. The space and structures inscribed in each image are personified representations of the sadness of Western society. With our weaknesses, society is left alone, abandoned, incomplete and rejected, while we continue to build structures that stand tall for generations to come. The persistent lines and darkness through shadow denote an authoritarian and imposed struggle between darkness and light. It is an invitation for all of us to engage with the paradoxes of our existence, so that we can confront our emotions and embrace the complexity of the human experience.
