Nine Months of Winter & Three of Hell

With the title taken from a popular expression from Portugal Northeast region, the work reflects about the people that leave beyond the mountains, engrained in the land that sustains its hunger and the faith that point towards the sky.

While road works and river damns gain ground over nature, Man slowly persists on fading in an enduring coexistence with the environment, highlighting both a past of existence creased by struggle and spiritual rigor, and a present that seems to be dominated by a culture of complacency and moral emptiness.

In present days of economic problematic that seems to be sustained above all on a crises of values on contemporary society, it´s a visual record of a personal journey on an internal quest upon the Human experience,  denouncing Man´s relation with Land, Faith and Development.
