The project Sozinhos is part of an ongoing investigation surrounding family life, relationships and motherhood. This chapter aims to explore our family life during the lockdown period.

It is a visual autobiographical diary that depicts our experience during this time. We are suddenly confined in our homes, unable to see family and friends, and the children cannot play with or get close to anyone out of the household.



This unnatural situation bring us together as a family, and on a daily basis we need to learn how to deal with repetition, boredom and fear of loss and chaotic situations. My husband is a key worker and continued to work as usual.

Originally from Brazil and based in Glasgow at the moment. At the moment my practice is autobiographical, and investigates psychological states and human relations. My interest in photography started around 2011, so I completed HND Photography in Glasgow Kelvin College in 2015. I then I started the MA Photography at Falmouth University, graduating now in 2020. My BA was done in Translator/Interpreting back in 2000 in São Paulo, Brazil.
