Macao is a rich city. One of the highest GDP per capita in the world.
Besides that, there are a lot of people that don't have money. People who
have no job. These are some of the faces that the society of Macao
marginalizes, ostracize. They are the faces of people whom life has
already given everything, but who now have little to eat. They live, with
the help of Caritas, in the shelter of Casa Corcel. The series of
photographs shows a summary of a few days spent [in the company of
78 residents] of Casa Corcel. Some did not want to show the face on the
story, preferring anonymity. Others, were not worried about appearing.
What I saw, and felt, were closed faces, resigned, with the desire to
shout at any moment, for all of them, faces of people to whom life has
already given everything.
