Most of the homes and buildings feature a distinct color combination from one another which creates a really beautiful conversation of palette throughout the cities and towns. I spent a lot of time wandering around and photographing different color combinations and how they related to one another. I also found there were some really poetic moments in the messages scrawled around. One of my favorites was a spray painted piece of plywood that read, “Triste Mas No Boa”
