RITUALS OF GLORY is an intimate photography project that, over two years, portrays the faith and devotion of young novice bullfighters in Spanish schools. Beyond the brilliance and tradition, it reveals a solitary path marked by uncertainty, where faith serves as a protective amulet against danger. The images capture prayers, silences, preparation, and reflection after the fight, where hope and belief sustain these anonymous apprentices. It is a tribute to the passion and dedication of those who risk everything in pursuit of glory.
