Pedro Freitas Silva is a Portuguese photographic artist who explores how landscapes, social contexts, and political environments shape individual identity. Grounded in phenomenological inquiry and informed by his personal experiences, his work investigates the nature of memory and perception. By intentionally blurring the lines between fact and fiction, he examines the limitations of photography in establishing absolute truths and its role in the construction of belief systems.
