“Taken on a trip to northeast Portugal, in the rural village of Covas do Barroso, in the mountainous region of Trás-os-Montes. In 2018, the Barroso was classified as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System for its unique agricultural traditions, rich biodiversity, and cultural identity. In 2021, unknown to the local community or the people of Portugal, the Portuguese government began to strategically market one of the world's most coveted natural resources — lithium — lying deep in these same green mountains. A fleeting moment captured on film (the fitting medium) at a nearby waterfall, against the backdrop of that tension.”
