[Publication]
Baixa Estima is a series of photographs started in 2015 and still ongoing.
"I grew up in a dense and complicated family environment, marked by scarcity, alcoholism, work, and an unfriendly relationship with school. Childhood and adolescence brought me a sense of early responsibility and also contributed to the development of my self-esteem – or rather, the lack of it.
Marginalized social contexts have predictable outcomes in adulthood: low-wage jobs, addictions, and crime. This is the rule of the game. A few strong individuals manage to escape this reality, rarely alone, and never without carrying marks and codes throughout life. Sometimes hopelessness and disenchantment with the future arise, and most of the time, I walk hunched over by problems and, literally, by posture."
