Thereza, a series of cyanotypes initiated in 2023, emerges from the search for one of my ancestors, known for decades as my grandfather's dead-mother. Paper, chemicals, sunlight, and water are elements of this invented encounter, a way to overcome the absence of images and create narratives that speak of her beyond her maternal role. Thereza appears watery, like a river that reveals itself differently with each glance. May her name foster imaginations.
