I have always been interested in the things that happen right in front of us and so often go unnoticed.
People, streets, landscapes, gestures, objects, the marks of time. I like to photograph not only an event, but also the traces it leaves behind. Perhaps that is why I enjoy returning to places so much.
Photographing a street, a celebration or a gathering again means discovering that what seemed unchanged has already shifted. People change, the city changes, and so do I. Yet something remains. That is how it was with the carreiros.
Over the years, I returned many times to photograph them. At first, perhaps I was looking for the event itself. Later, I began looking for what existed around it: the faces, animals, gestures, details, relationships and small moments that also tell this story. That is the perspective I bring to this exhibition.
A gaze drawn to what passes, but above all to what carries on.
Because, for me, photography is also a way of continuing to look.
