“Manter a fachada” (wordplay with “keeping up appearances” and “taking care of the exterior wall”). This was a project I started with the intention of creating small scale murals on eroding walls all over Portugal. The idea was to mix photos of the wall, with objects that were created for each site, and present them within small photo narratives.
