Stacked and Lonely

This was a project developed during a workshop with Photographer Tadej Žnidarčič during which we were instructed to create a photographic documentary series that would depict the current pandemic. This was my take on it.

In Portugal we were blessed with sunny weather. We are social people who like to gather around food and coffee and our preferred way to enjoy those is in the cafe’s terraces, sitting under the sun. In May, the signs of the summer tourism start showing up and you can find tourists and their sunburns walking around, although, in my city, Aveiro, there is always movement from the students that brighten the city.

This is a different year, though, in 2020 the streets are empty and the chairs where we would sit outside and enjoy our coffee with a breeze, are now stacked waiting for better days to come. The students that would fill the streets sit at home and struggle with online classes, the tourists are in their countries and the older people are the ones we mostly find sitting outside by themselves, with their faces covered in masks.
