Mana
André Príncipe

Mana is one of the fundamental ideas of the Polynesian worldview, a sacred force of supernatural origin. To have Mana means to have influence, authority, the ability to act upon a situation. The quality of Mana is not limited to individuals. People, governments, places, animals, and inanimate objects can also possess Mana. The photographs were taken in the Portuguese prisons of Odemira, Tires, and Santa Cruz do Bispo during the autumn of 2025. All these prisons are very close to the Atlantic Ocean.In 2025, Autumn was hot, cold, mild. In prisons, women are not allowed to have mirrors, phones, or cameras. Dinners are at 6:30 pm and the return to cells is at 7:00 pm. A large part of the sentences served are related to drug crimes. In some prisons, there are baby carriages in the wings. In others, there are anti-violence protection nets. Were you able to see the full moon from your window today?
