More than 4 million enslaved Africans were brought to Brazil, 40% of the total number of slaves brought to the Americas.

The fact that so many people (even Brazilians) don’t know or think about this is what encouraged me to work on this series.
Brazil was built by these men and women - the millions who were subjected to severe violence and humiliation, and that today are not even remembered.
My work is a tool and I want to use it for good. Thankfully I have an audience following what I do, which I value and respect so much, and which gives me the opportunity to be heard. If I can contribute and give you something new to think about, I’m satisfied.
