The dynasty of the fish boys, 2026
A ordem dos peixes meninos (The Dynasty of the Fish Boys), evokes ancestrality as a force that guides us on the paths and crossings of life. The “fish boys” symbolise guides and guardians that carry the tides, waters and memories. With their deep dives, they represent balance, protection and an ancestral heritage that offers direction.
