Petals. Sepals. Calyx.

Delicacy.

Rest. Sustenance. Shelter.

Resists.

Reproduces. Begins again. Multiplies.

Silence and light are a dance of emotions in a dark room. A symphony that not everyone can hear. It requires turning inward, silencing the world, and casting light into the deepest inner self to perhaps glimpse a shadow. It’s not about what is revealed, but what one wants to hide.

The city lights draw a seductive path that often leads to solitary places. The city and its crowds place us within ourselves, us, alone. The city and its cloudy days need solar hearts. Suns. Are you suns? The city calls for a flame that never extinguishes. A body that never sleeps. A life that keeps pulsating. The lights say it is possible. Ignite or ascend.

Travessia emerges from restlessness, discomfort, and the desire to overcome barriers and reach new landscapes. Above all, it is born out of a genuine longing to go beyond what is seen, as it intends not only to cross but to dive, to delve as deep as one can reach, freeing oneself from constraints and flowing with the tide.

We live in a time where everything suddenly became absence. All places, desolate. Unable to feature in any landscape, we observe from afar the ruins and debris as remnants of what once existed and at the same time a foundation to rebuild what remains of us.

Stop. Notice. Rest your gaze. Calm your soul. Renew your mind. Rethink life. Start again. But not without resting first.

This series was born out of a feeling of suffocation triggered during the 2020 pandemic. Suddenly, it was no longer safe to venture beyond the memories of what had been experienced. In an attempt to stay alive, we closed ourselves off. Meanwhile, life seemingly suspended, questioned: Is there life inside here, or is it only possible out there?

The artworks tell stories of resistance and permanence in the truest sense of the word. Fernanda’s photographs in this series capture buildings that remained standing after the great disaster of Hiroshima in Japan.

Works that pay tribute to the memory of cyclists through the Ghost Bikes project are also included in this series.

Anything that allows itself to resist will endure.

The artist Fernanda directs her lens to capture angles, shapes, and geometric compositions in buildings, in the series Lines, Trajectories, and Constructions.

In this space, lines that present distinct destinations, trajectories, and their predefined coordinates were recorded, rigid and symmetrical constructions.

With each point, a line is formed. With each line, a new image.

Black means power, mystery, sophistication. The sovereign king.
Shadowy path. Twilight. Sphynx. Unveil it.
One must know the shadow to be able to see the light.

Fernanda observed this vivid color throughout New York. The color caught her eye on the city streets, on the heights of the buildings, on the windows and walkways.

As such, she realized that yellow conquered the most beautiful scenarios of a lively and intense city.

The works recorded in Yellows of New York began with the curiosity to find the color clamoring for attention.

Summer of shimmering sea waves slide forward and backwards. The sea flows in between the sand and the foam. Up and down, amazingly, always anew. High tide. Full tide. Live Tide! Inflows, spreads, stirs. Disperses…

A series depicting peaceful scenery. An exploration of the world of those who launch out into life, in the air, in the sea.  Endless possibilities for those who live the moment, the now, the subtleties. The wind commanding the destination of the leaf, of the bird, of the boat, of the wandering soul. That slides away, slowly, detached, [un]o[ccupied].

In Coração Aberto, Todo em Flor, Fernanda presents flowers, in their abundant of simplicity.

The artist compares her works with the beauty and strength of a woman. Whether the flower is white, black or pink, nothing prevents it from growing and blooming.

“Everything seeks to connect”. It was from this concept that the inspiration for the series Cores que Dialogam emerged.

Part of the work was photographed in Hiroshima and Tokyo, Japan, and the other in Brazil. However, this distance did not prevent the details, lines, and colors of the photographs from creating a connection and a story to be told.

A story that is open to you to write.

Living in multiethnic Indigenous village brought about the images capturing a trip to the Chapada dos Veadeiros, in Goiás. In order to celebrate the strengthening of cultures and the struggle of indigenous people, Fernanda shot through her lens, to understand and feel the rich experience.

It was with great love in the chest that the clicks crossed indigenous legends shared under the starry sky, at the foot of the fire. To the waterfall baths early in the morning and to the sacred corners, anytime. Giving life to the series Conexão Céu e Terra.

Woman.

Of priceless strength. Of enviable delicacy. Of exciting logic. Of charming sensibility.

The work of art Delicadeza e Força. Razão e Sensibilidade, represents women’s freedom, which terrifies many and expresses the desire for daily and incessant empowerment.

Fernanda’s work brings details and angles that can go unnoticed by many viewers. In Feelings of New York, the artist’s lens sought to represent the city of New York through unexplored scenes.

The shots show the urban – and even calm – side of the city, but reveal beauty in the concrete and imperfect.
