Photography: Infrared

One of my New Years' resolutions in 2020 was to bring Arts and Photography back into my life. A decade living far away from my home country demanded more life and career changes than I expected, which pushed me away from the camera. Not being able to work full-time as a Photographer anymore hit me so hard that I also left it aside as a hobby, almost a self-punishment: if I can't work with Photography, I won't allow myself to photograph for any other reason. In 2020, while our lives were changing forever, I decided to fight against inertia and put into practice a project I'd been thinking about for a long time. The invitation from writer and professor Luís Augusto Fischer to produce a photographic essay for Parêntese digital magazine, part of Matinal Jornalismo (www.matinaljornalismo.com.br), was the fuse I needed. *Infrared* is the first of a series of essays focused on human relations through body details. From the lines that limit skin to the meaning of each movement, the series aims to encourage spectators to look beyond the obvious associations with body expressions and see themselves as an important gear in human architecture. Infrared kick starts this project by looking at fragments of mobility in bed - what do you see? What's your line of thought? What makes you think that and why?
