TERRA: Paisaje Valenciano en el Guadalquivir (LAND: Valencian Landscape in the Guadalquivir) is a visual essay that utilises photographic portraiture as a means to navigate between the visible and the invisible, the real and the magical. Far from being merely a physical representation, each portrait serves as an allegory, an open door to the symbolic, where identity is expressed not only through the face or pose but also through the invisible bond that unites each portrayed person with the land they inhabit.
