"When we die we return to the place where we came from."
"Je est un autre"
I "is" another. I "is" many others, all even, perhaps.

The entire project was photographed between the villages of my father and my mother, in the secret paradise that Portugal hides northeast. Everything is autobiographical.
This time it was only the women, this time...…
And a lot where left out, for now...
