Amazon • Colors Magazine • 68

The Amazon • Colors Magazine • 68 project is unified around the idea of “movement” and “change” caused by random and external factors to the lives of the people portrayed: escape from persecution, the search for a new life, migration of families in search of new lands and economic opportunities. At the same time, we have in the background the very recent transformation of Brazil: a country that is struggling between euphoria and depression; between opportunity and oppression; between hope and despair; between violence and love. It is in the developmental paradox of this neo-Brazil that our characters wander in an attempt to find a place that sometimes shows itself only in the fact that they are in continuous movement, driven by the inertia of the other events that affect them.
