Season 1
S01 - EP 01 - No human being is truly broken
Welcome to ‘Coming Home’ — a conversation about the journey back to oneself. For years I have been photographing the silence of spaces: light returning to form, the shadow that defines it, the breath of geometry. Over time, I realised there was another world of equal beauty waiting to be remembered — the inner world. This first episode is the starting point, and it is about me, because this is where everything begins. I speak of what it means to return home, of the metaphor of the chalice — that vessel of light that we are, covered by the layers that life has deposited — and of the work of cleansing it, not destroying it. Of the difference between being wounded and being broken. And of a certainty I feel in every cell: no human being is truly broken. Healing is not about fixing something that is broken. It is about remembering a state of wholeness that has always been present. An invitation to return home — and to listen to the spark that has always been there.
Bem-vindo a Voltar a Casa — uma conversa sobre a viagem de regresso a si mesmo. Há anos que fotografo o silêncio dos espaços: a luz a regressar à forma, a sombra que a define, a respiração da geometria. Com o tempo, percebi que havia outro mundo de igual beleza à espera de ser relembrado — o mundo interior. Este primeiro episódio é o ponto de partida, e é sobre mim, porque é daqui que tudo nasce. Falo do que significa voltar a casa, da metáfora do cálice — esse recipiente de luz que somos, coberto pelas camadas que a vida foi depositando — e do trabalho de o limpar, não de o destruir. Da diferença entre estar ferido e estar quebrado. E de uma certeza que sinto em cada célula: nenhum ser humano está verdadeiramente quebrado. Curar não é consertar algo que está partido. É recordar um estado de ser inteiro que esteve sempre presente. Um convite para voltares a casa — e para ouvires a centelha que sempre esteve lá. ______________________________________________________ Welcome to ‘Coming Home’ — a conversation about the journey back to oneself.
