Visual ethnography at the house / sanctuary of Mr. Pedro M. Caetano, resident of the Campeche hinterland, in Florianópolis. It is an ethnophotographic essay, addressing the creation of a syncretic worship space in the home of Senhor Pedro, who is a devotee of Nossa Senhora dos Navegantes, Santa Catarina, Nossa Senhora Aparecida, but also Iemanjá. Due to the strength and relevance of belief in his daily life, he creates a religious shrine and a bricolage of cult objects and artifacts in his home to express his faith in this way.
