Captured during my first days in Iceland, this photograph reflects a moment of quiet resilience. Moving from Brazil to Europe during the height of COVID, I found myself in a starkly different world—vast, empty, and unfamiliar. On a stormy weekend road trip, I stumbled upon this solitary black church, standing firm against time, the wind, and the relentless elements of nature. In that moment, it became a symbol of endurance, solitude, and unexpected familiarity in a foreign land.
