In October 2020, Barcelona witnessed a series of demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions. It had been a while since I had engaged in documentary photography, I decided to attend with a friend. Although we captured moments of violence, we were fortunate to remain unharmed. The initially peaceful demonstration quickly escalated into the familiar conflict between police and protesters. During the dangerous clashes, we managed to avoid trouble. What caught my attention was that many of the protestors were also shouting at those who were burning trash cans: 'Violence isn't the answer.'
