How Personal Objects Anchor Loved Ones' Spiritual Presence in Everyday Life http://dlvr.it/TStGmg
Students of the local school, Agrupamento de Escolas de Arraiolos, were asked to bring to class and share personal objects found at home. After shooting them, the resulting images were edited in white and blue and linked to other images shot around the village.
Work in progress of the first part of the Studio Practice and Ideas/ Image assignment!

Re-Location Stories
Life certainly is a journey. We are able to build our own reality by choosing how and where and with whom we want to live. The place you are born does not always dictate where you live your life. The United States is the most vivid example of a nation shaped out of determination and decisions made by immigrants who moved from other parts of the world, giving the best of their knowledge, talents, heart and soul.
This is a series about people and their objects. People from Latin America, who moved for different reasons. Some came looking to fulfill their dreams, others for education and better jobs, and some others to follow the love of their life. I want to share the experiences of Latin immigrants and, through their personal objects, tell their story. Objects can say a lot about a person and what is meaningful for them. With this project I aim to challenge stereotypes about Hispanic immigrants, who many believe come to the United States just to work low-skill and labor jobs.
From first hand experience I know that the immigration process can be brutal and frustrating. But at the end of the day, I know that my option to choose the way I want to live my life is more important than a stamp in a passport. I also know that in some cases the bureaucracy process can be easier and smoother, even though the social challenge might be similar.
