This photo series by Jorge Ochoa is called "I come from far away". Jorge is very interested in immigration and identity, and his works reflect that. Currently there are more than five thousand Peruvian migrants living in Belgium, a large group that Belgians hardly know anything about. In this work he captures how they have reshaped their cultural practices to start a new life at the other side of the globe. The photographs show how Peruvians -in the search for a new balance- carry out their sports, their religious activities and their practices in a unique way, shaped by their new environment.
