Photographed at the Universidade de Coimbra, one of the oldest and most beautiful universities in Europe, this collection invites the viewer to step into a place where time moves differently.
As you walk through its courtyards and climb its stone steps, you feel the weight of centuries pressing gently against the present. The architecture glows with memory, the light shifting across worn walls that have watched generations come and go. In these spaces, people become part of the rhythm of history, their movement a continuation of something much larger than themselves.
Through layered exposures and softened motion, these images reveal the quiet pulse of Coimbra. They are not portraits of people but of presence, where footsteps blur into the spirit of the place. It is both still and alive, contemplative yet full of energy, echoing with the knowledge, ambition, and humanity that have passed through its arches for more than seven hundred years.
To stand here is to feel connected, not to a single moment, but to the continuity of our learning and the poetry of place.
