Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「It was only a couple of months ago that the photographer @felipeorellanaf moved to Lisbon and met “Vallechi”, a musician who already lived in the city. Connected through a mutual friend, the pair instantly formed a friendship based on an appreciation of one another’s artistic practices. ⁠ ⁠ That very same day that they met, “Vallechi” played Orellana his techno track Emotional Patches, a song that the musician says “symbolises the strength and resilience we draw from within, even when everything around us is constantly changing". From here, they decided to collaborate on a photo project inspired by the song, capturing creatives from the Lisbon scene and reflecting on experiences of trauma that they’ve boldly overcome.⁠ ⁠ Each person that he captured shared a story of past trauma, with quotes like “kids used to beat me, and I don’t know why” dotted in a simple, white typeface across the final images – however, Orellana was careful not to push his subjects past their comfort zones. ⁠ ⁠ “As the photographer, I wanted to capture their vulnerability while being respectful and mindful of their boundaries”, he says of the process, adding, “I wanted them to feel at ease and share as much as they wanted to.” It’s a method that undoubtedly paid off – whether it’s a defiant stare into the camera or a calm look of serenity, each subject exhibits a composure that suggests the experience had been truly palliative.⁠ ⁠ In order to further emphasise the resilience and strength these traumatic experiences can produce, Orellana decided to photograph each subject alongside a sword with each person deciding how they would display the weapon. “The swords serve to represent the personal struggles that each individual carries”, he explained, “and how they navigate them in their own unique ways.”⁠ ⁠ Read more through the link in our bio 🗡️⁠ ⁠ 📷 @felipeorellanaf⁠ ✍️ @elliothoste」5月27日 17時57分
