The Untold Stories of Favelas

Favelas are informal settlements commonly found outside Brazilian cities.

They are characterized by overcrowding, poverty, and limited access to basic services such as water, sanitation and health care. Despite the challenges favelas face, they are known for their vibrant culture and strong sense of community.

Empower women

Women are the backbone of society, and it's crucial for us to recognize their immense value. It's time for us to empower women to take charge of their own lives, to pursue education, culture, and health, and to prioritize their own well-being so they can better care for others. Let's celebrate the strength and resilience of women, and work towards building a society that truly values and supports them.❤️

Unworthy lover of distant journeys and blue seas

“I will always remain an ideal and an unworthy lover of distant journeys and blue seas.”

The sea has always been an escape and a challenge for sailors. They leave the comfort of the land and launch into the unknown. But for many, the sea is their home, and the infinite sky their only companion. Nikos Cavadias knew this life well, as a poet and sailor himself. He wrote about the struggles and beauty of life at sea, capturing the essence of a sailor’s life. It is a life of hard work, long journeys and loneliness, but it is also a life of freedom and adventure. This illustration is inspired from his journey.

Nikos Cavadias 1910-1975. He was a Greek poet, writer, translator and sailor.
