Circle of Faith Beneath the monumental arches of Guadalajara’s Hospicio Cabañas, a group of nuns forms a quiet circle, holding hands as though suspended outside of time. The vast architecture rises above them like a silent witness, while heavy clouds gather over the historic courtyard. Their movement feels almost like a dance—simple, humble, and eternal. Captured in black and white, the photograph explores faith, ritual, community, and human fragility within spaces built to outlive generations. An everyday moment becomes a cinematic meditation on spirituality and solitude in the midst of grandeur. This photograph represented France at the World Photographic Cup in 2018.
