KEEP AGAINST FEAR
Rituals of defence and desire.
Two intimate borders facing each other:
the fence and the skin.
One holds the unseen; the other holds the self.
Photographed between belief and habit —
where protection becomes gesture.
In some rural areas, goat skulls are fixed to fences.
they mark the limit of a property and ward off what can’t be seen.
on the beach, a few kilometers away, people remove their clothes.
their nakedness, too, has a border — the line where public becomes intimate.
Both gestures belong to the same instinct: to draw a line against fear.
one keeps the spirits out; the other keeps the self contained.
these images observe what happens along that threshold —
where belief turns into habit, and rituals, old or new,
reveal what we choose to protect.
