Personal Project: Visual Artist & Storyteller
2020
During the quarantine period, I resumed personal photographic projects and created new images.
I had the privilege of spending part of the confinement on an isolated beach on the coast of São Paulo, where I had a lot of contact with nature.
On one of my walks, I came across this encounter between an existing tree and a vine that was curling up and leaning on it.

Frank - Of what?
Donna - Afraid of making a mistake.
Frank - No mistakes in the Tango, not like life. Simple. That’s what makes the Tango so great. If you a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on.
Frank - Why won’t you try? Will you try?
Donna - No, I wanted to learn once, but...
Frank- But?
Donna - But Michael didn’t want to.
Frank - Michael? The one you’re waiting for?
Donna - Michael thinks the tango is histerical.
Frank - Well, I think Michael’s histerical[...]
