DRACÊNICA

Image from series DEGUSTAÇÃO FOLHÁTICA (leafs tasting) captured during a research on sustainability and cooperation with groups that work with peripheral plantations in Brazil, one country with a gigantic diversity. It was inevitable to record the beauty of landscapes and plants, whether native, ornamental or even shrubs.
In this image, it is primarily the most intimate look and the imagination that sees it ready from several shots, however it has to be built, created and assembled in a single image for the external look, that is to make concrete and externalize what was imagined from within.
