Forgotten Places

I created this image for the Fotografar Palavras (1) project, where small text fragments are distributed to photographers who translate them into images. The artist doesn't choose which text to photograph and doesn't know the author before the image is delivered. In the photos I create for this project, my goal is not to turn the text into a caption but to make the image and text function as layers that produce a new image. For this photo, the given text was "Look for me in the forgotten places, where our essence can emerge without fear." I did an analog collage using two different photographs and several stages of printing and scanning until I achieved the desired texture.
