Raimundo Silva
a riverside shanty in Manaus, Brazil
Raimundo Silva works tirelessly as an auto body painter in a cluttered workshop by the river outside Manaus. He marks each day of sobriety with a line on the wall, battling against the pull of old habits to secure a better life for his daughter. The sound of the screen door creaking in the breeze sparks memories, a comforting yet haunting reminder of his childhood, while the impending rain and rising river waters keep him perpetually on edge.
