Creative Shortlist

This photographic essay takes a journey through everyday life, exploring the intimacy of things and inviting the viewer to contemplate the extraordinary that is present in the trivial, using their imagination as a vehicle for a journey through universes where one photograph joins another, and another, and another. The photographs are structured in polyptychs – always four in number – in an allusion to the lyric of sonnet stanzas, where the narrative and its rhythm take place within a poetic metric form. The polyptychs were created in 2023 from analogue photographs taken over the last three years; most of the photographs were taken at my home in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

Visual artist and photographer, her academic background is in Law [2007], and she worked as a public servant for almost fifteen years. Meanwhile, she independently approached photography. Since 2020, she has turned photography into her profession, transitioning to analog techniques. She also creates collages using either her own material or appropriating from family archives or others.
