PATRíCIA ABREU
Time Capsules

TIME CAPSULES, 2022, is an ongoing Photographic Series composed of delicate abstract images that evoke another World, another Time, stored in air bubbles that hold memories of a remote Past.
Through Macrophotography, I investigate the existence of small translucent drops inside old blown glass objects, which, when enlarged, take on a supernatural aspect, revealing fragments of encapsulated worlds, containing their own atmosphere, their air of the past. A continuous exercise in capturing movements hidden by a state of inertia.
It is important to note that no montage editing was applied, Photoshop was only used to balance the RAW images.

Patrícia Abreu is a Brazilian Visual Artist who mixes multiple techniques in the realization of her works. With a degree in Graphic Design, Photography and professional experience in Art Direction for Audiovisual Dramaturgy, she moves fluently through different artistic languages in search of original expression. Themes about Time, Memory and the Natural World are a constant presence in her work. Currently, she practices Macro Photography as a conceptual, formal and artistic exercise, achieving then, an abstractionism in her image creation process.
“The construction of images captured photographically, as instruments of visualization of imprecise worlds to our naked eyes. Both by the light that passes through the lenses that deform and enlarge, and by the unconventional investigation of the chosen subject. All the imprecise questions and subtle answers faced in this journey, leave me more than fascinated by contemporary photographic practice and the future of image-making."
