Suspenso
Portugal
2021
“Suspenso” – the Portuguese word for suspended – takes place in Évora, in her grandparents’ house, between March and September 2020. During this time, she photographed her grandfather, grandmother and her nephew. In parallel, she started developing and scanning her films on a daily basis.
Because her grandfather has a close relationship with his backyard, she ended up spending time with him and watched the plants grow, blossom and eventually die, leaving their seeds for another cycle. In this work, there is a latent reflection on time and growth.
