Sandra Rocha
Da calma fez-se o vento

Sandra Rocha’s most recent project stems from an encounter between still and moving images, mostly made in the Azores, and readings that accompany her research: Ovid, Gaston Bachelard, Emmanuel Coccia, and Jean-Christophe Bailly.
In continuity with her previous series, in Da calma fez-se o vento Sandra Rocha places the human figure in its natural environment. However, in this new composition, the artist insists on the element of water: a continuous flow of energy that strongly incorporates the idea of perpetual movement advocated by Heraclitus. Sumptuous water scenes symbolise the beginning of a new natural cycle, a form of infinity that touches transcendence and sacredness. It is in this harmonious and ritualised environment where humans, animals, plants, and minerals coexist that Sandra Rocha crafts a poetic narrative that annuls the course of time and offers us an eternal form of a new beginning.
