PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 

“I don’t aim to copy reality. I create a new one, likewise we do in our dreams...” 
Paola Cassola, notes, 27 September 2014

 

“In this series my photo camera becomes my paint brush. At night I explore the shapes and colours of colonial Brazil. Dreaming by day, I am cognisant of many things that escape those who dream only in their sleep. At dawn I play with my lenses, and the images and lights reflected in the water become intimate abstract creations”.
