This project was a collaboration with the Los Pepes Studio in my hometown Aveiro. It had a particularly pleasant twist as I had to work on an imaginarium that accompanied me since I was a child, walking around my city. From my memories of Aveiro, I cherish the swirl of the wind, the colours of the sky and the river the open space and two enigmatic figures on the bridge; the varina and the marnoto. Enigmatic because they represent a life that I don’t know, I can only fantasize about. I think it must have been a hard, rough and restless life. However, dark, surrounded by water, softness and infinite shades of grey-blue-green that bring me an electric peace.
