sejkko documents the minimalistic magnificence of portugal's lonely houses

embodying the colors and characteristics of the vibrant southern european country of portugal, photographer manuel pita — who goes by the name sejkko — has been documenting the region’s ‘lonely houses’ for more than a year. these traditional style dwellings, a genre of which the artist currently calls home, are each pictured against bright blue skies scattered with soft white clouds and the occasional flying bird. the structures are depicted in their minimalistic magnificence — tiny triangle roofs cover brightly colored boxes; pink, purple and yellow exterior walls radiate an inner warmth; window shutters and weather veins almost personify the spaces with onlooking eyes and quirky hats. despite their singularity, the images — taken with and edited on a phone, illustrate the vibrant spirit of both the place where they exist and the people that inhabit them.
