Ainda que se Apague. (Even if it fades)

Ainda que se Apague is a photographic series that explores impermanence and the fragility of existence through compositions inspired by the tradition of the still life. Constructed in the studio, the images bring together elements at different stages of transformation—fresh and dried flowers, fruit, family photographs, and other traces of time—evoking the delicate threshold between presence and absence.

The photographs do not document objects; instead, they create contemplative atmospheres that invite sustained looking. Light, framing, and the intimate proximity of the assembled elements establish a quiet visual space where beauty and vulnerability coexist. Each composition unfolds as a moment of pause, suggesting that what appears ephemeral may also carry permanence, memory, and affection.

Ultimately, Ainda que se Apague turns its attention to what endures through transformation. The images celebrate the fragile tension between presence and absence, inviting viewers to recognize the poetic force that resides within transience.
