There's something profoundly human—something fierce and fundamental—in the act of standing together, voices raised in unity, selflessly demanding justice. Call it courage, call it defiance—I call it Resistencia. Seeds that refuse to die, growing stubbornly wherever they're buried. Wherever oppression lurks, resistance thrives.
Few experiences humble you quite like witnessing a crowd step forward and demand justice. Most people, especially in the comfort of privileged Western bubbles, hear about conflicts unfolding 10,000 kilometers away, and sure—it feels distant, abstract, unreal. But make no mistake: it's real. It's raw. It's happening, whether you're watching or not.
This collection brings together images captured during protests I've witnessed over these past few years. My mantra in these moments is simple yet crucial: stay focused, stay neutral, stay respectful. Easier said than done when you're navigating a storm of raw human emotion unfolding in every direction. There I am, camera in hand, quietly overwhelmed, trying desperately to honor what's playing out in front of me without getting swept away myself. These images, collected here, were taken with the utmost respect, empathy, and profound admiration for the courage it takes to stand up, speak out, and demand better.
