Photographic series by Raquel Fialho

Last week I had the opportunity to visit my friends Francisca and Jens newest project “quinta das praias”, an artist residency, right in the middle of the field. It's a beautiful place to go if you're in need of inspiration, or simply to relax or meditate. I took a lot of photos!
Almost everyday I woke up early with the rising sun and the birds and walked to the river, drank orange juice with oranges from the farm's backyard (which I picked myself with Chica), and took a ride on a super cool bike that was much older than me.
They have a huge pilates ball that turned to be super fun, and with the night as it got colder they had to light the fire and the whole house got all smokey, like a big tribal ritual ahah.
Oh, and I was fascinated with the Victorian bathtub, I really have to come back with warmer weather to enjoy it more!
Thanks again to Francisca and Jens, and good luck with the residency!

Flooding river

Last week I was listening to Flooding river when I realized that the land around us was actually been flooded by the rain and river waters. Following the stream, the idea came to show the beauty of the broken boundaries, where the sky silver clouds are reflected in the mirrors of the land. We were fortune to experience the splendor of the flooding waters without seeing its face of isolation and destruction. Soon the sun and the fog took the place of the rain and little by little the improvised lakes returned to its natural vessels in the ground and in the air. We send our sincere sympathies to the brave Brazilians that are now suffering the tragic destruction of mother earth violent floods.
