Lourença shares her story with Agustina.
Time and landscapes unfold throughout the text and the reader is taken by the hand as he goes through it.
The colors and the brush strokes in the background, try to shape this sensation of passage and constant transformation.
Under her feet lies the sea and, a little below the sky, the shadow of the Douro protects her dreams.
The girl holds the apple, as if she grasps her own identity.
The white hat, with flowing ribbons, and the blue reflections on the billowing dresses, I went to get them from Agustina's rapture.
The big doll is on the floor. Neither Lourença nor Agustina could hold her.
It was a huge privilege to be part of this extensive and profound tribute to Agustina Bessa-Luís, along with 12 incredible artists.
I dedicate a special thanks to Frederico @draw.ruido for such a challenging invitation, generosity and trust; to CCDR-Norte @onortesomosnos, in particular, to Jorge Sobrado @jorgesobrado for the initiative and the opportunity to be part of the realization of such a remarkable work.
I also thank Diogo Silva @dsmotionframes who was recording, in photography and video, our entire process.
