Rays of Hope

After nearly twenty days in quarantine, following the sad news that still haven’t ceased, I began reflecting about some projects/dreams of traveling to photograph that I’ve been continuously postponing. The question that persisted: “Will I survive to make those trips?“, “Will the future world be open to receive me?“, “How extensive and deep are the damages?“. Following this line of thought I began searching videos of some places in the world and I felt the need to photograph them in my own way. I opted to make artistic cuts using the long exposure technique from the standpoint of the mechanical eye of static photographic cameras fixed in moving vehicles. The result is this small series that I’ve titled “Rays of Hope“ in a wordplay between the visual effects obtained and the emotion that all mankind should share in this sad times we are living.
