In a world marked by constant noise and accelerated flows, “Looking into a Backwater” is an invitation to contemplation and to reconnect with silence – not only as the absence of sound, but as a state of presence. The images captured in diverse places – from Macapá to Tokyo – establish an emotional geography guided by light, stillness and a poetics of the sacred every day. Lamego leads us through territories of introspection, where each photograph is an interlude, a gap in time that allows us to breathe.The compositions lirt with absence, atmospheres that reverberate memory and permanence.
