Notes on light and rain
Light changes without warning. It slides along walls, disappears into alleyways, narrows during the short days of winter. Rain breaks it into fragments, distorts it. Sometimes it is a sudden glare, other times just a shadow stretching before it vanishes. In this continuous oscillation between clarity and darkness, a different sense of time opens up. These are notes gathered while walking, minimal variations that reveal how the shifting of light also changes the way we perceive space.
Within this context, Notes on Light and Rain develops as a black-and-white project that uses street photography as a tool of interpretation. Flash, slow shutter speeds, and atmospheric conditions become ways of reading and rewriting the city. Human presences emerge and dissolve among light, shadow, reflections, and movement, in which Porto appears fragile, dynamic, at times suspended, distant from its most recognizable image. The work seek to convey an intimate and transitory experience, where light cuts through the scene, making visible something that exists only momentarily before fading away.
