Born in Brazil (São Paulo, 1989) of Black, Italian, and Indigenous heritage, now calls Canada home. What began as a childhood impulse to understand space — whether through drawing or a lens, taking his first photograph at the age of six — led to his studies in Architecture and Urban Planning (University of São Paulo, 2016) and has since evolved into both a professional career in real estate (Affordable Housing Developer, CreateTO) and a photography practice that attempts to make sense of the world through a patient and curious eye, one frame at a time.
His body of work explores the reciprocal tension between the human and the urban environment, examining how the two converge to forge identity, memory, and a collective sense of self. Focusing on static and transitional spaces — and the life caught in between — his practice is both an extension of and a departure from his city-building career: while architecture and urban planning are exercises in control, photography is an act of presence — a visual form of listening that allows complexity to remain unresolved and stories to resist simplification.
