An exploration of the Portuguese and their relationship with the sea. The people selected all spend time with the ocean in varying ways. Represented by their hands and a story of courage – their portraits are faceless – and so they become somewhat anonymous to the viewer; as the faces of past navigators are to us.
‘The Storyteller and the Sea,’ by Katherine Masters is available to buy on Amazon. This book brings light to real life heroic stories from people in Portugal. These stories are touching, some terrifying and some of them are quite unforgettable.
