Duende

DUENDE

The series explores the idea of Duende, a Spanish word for the deep soul power that arises when pain, passion and artistry come together. It's what happens when sorrow becomes grace, and when survival becomes a song, a dance

For the Roma, who have long lived on the edge of society, the Andalusian horse is more than a companion. It is mirror: proud, strong, wild and deeply sensitive

Together they have created movement rituals in dance, in music, in everyday life that express both comfort and resilience

Each photo captures a moment when silence speaks louder than words. A shared breath, the movement that has been repeated over generations. Carried in the body, in the hoofbeat, in a look, a connection, a dance of 2 souls as

ONE

The Andalusian horse does not speak, yet it knows the weight of history
The Roma don't ask for pity, only the space to move, to sing, to survive
From the dust they rise together, horse and woman
The proof of something unbreakable
Comfort in their deep connection
Resilience and passion in dance
A beauty the world can't tame
