I am honored by the invitation from the team at Foto em Pauta 2026 (the international photography festival in Tiradentes, MG-Brasil) to include one of my photographs—selected for their Projeções (Projections) open call, themed “dreaming, imagining, and speculating futures”—in a showcase at PARIS PHOTO, the major international photography fair in Paris, taking place from November 12–15, 2026. The selected work will be presented both as a print and as a projection.

The photograph shown here is the piece in question; it is part of my second photography book, titled Assombrações (Hauntings) (2023)—an independent production curated by Roberto Cecato (Studio Imaginar, São Paulo, SP).

Think of the children of Palestine, living orphans
Others massacred by bloodthirsty drones and missiles,
Murdered without mercy
By hunger, thirst and bullets
Think of their decapitated limbs
Their hearts torn apart
Wounded, despised, like red poppies
Dried in a vase without water on a table
In a corner of some house
That no longer exists
Also torn apart

However, do not forget the red poppy
The red poppy of Palestine
Stained, dirty with blood
The same color as the blood spilled today
The dried, dehydrated red poppy
That will be justly defied

(Merry Christmas…to rethink Christmas, for a more just world, without wars and without hunger)
