I photographed this mother and child while travelling along the Rio Negro in Brazil, where the river remains an essential part of everyday life.
While travelling along the Rio Negro in Brazil, I had the chance to meet indigenous communities whose lives are still closely connected to the river. What fascinated me most was how naturally the river functions as a road, a source of food and a part of everyday family life. I took this photograph during one of those quiet moments on the water — a scene that felt simple, direct and completely rooted in the rhythm of the Amazon region.
