TRAVESSIA I (CROSSING I)
TRAVESSIA II (CROSSING II)
This book is a collection of reveries and memories of the artist during her crossings of the Atlantic Ocean. Ocean liner voyages were her parents' preferred means of transport to travel to France: the departure was from the port of Santos in Brazil and the arrival was at the port of Marseille. And vice versa. These numerous round trips were lived, through the eyes of a child, as a total immersion: a dive into the blue of the sky and the sea.
