GALICIA, 2019-2022.
76 x 56cm & 56 x 38cm Platinum Palladium on Arches Platine.
In the mountains of Galicia wild horses roam freely despite the dangers of wolf attacks, bushfires, and poachers. Every summer, small villages come together to shave these horses by hand, continuing a ritual that dates back to the Celtic era. The ancient practice is not just an act of care but a profound moment of connection between humans and animals, past and present, myth and reality. I was interested in this meeting point between worlds, the movement of people, stories, and traditions.
