Taken across London, São Paulo, and Trancoso, during the challeging year of 2021. The images move between dense urban forms and quiet natural spaces. The red poppies, captured in springtime London, offer delicate bursts of colour and life, quietly contrasting with the dense, towering cityscapes of São Paulo - seen from above in Moema, from the softer views of Vila Mariana, and within the tranquil spaces of the Botanical Garden. Some photographs explore the dialogue between urban life and nature, while others focus solely on natural elements, together creating compositions that reflect fragility and strength. Interwoven through these images is a sense of memory and care - a reminder that beauty continues to reveal itself, even when everything else is shifting.

These works are double exposure photos consisting of overlapping photographs taken across different times and places. They include photographs of coastal Brazil where I lived, Brighton where I lived for a year and London where I live now (and some photos from places I have visited). My intention is to create personal images rooted in the world and people I encounter while at the same time exploring a space between reality and imagination. The results I hope are images that have the quality of dreams and memories - including what is familiar and escaping it - inviting the viewer to assign their own interpretation while journeying into their own imagination.

This is a collection of photographs taken during my long walks and hikes, something I’ve always loved to do. Walking for hours, often in the countryside or by the coast, helps me recharge, especially as I live in the city. I’m drawn to quiet landscapes, trees, paths, and the silence and emptiness of certain places. Most of these photos were taken in the UK, where I live, and some in Trancoso, Brazil, where I often return. This project is about enjoying nature, as well as being in the moment.
