Temporary Canvas

A collection of photos taken in Tavira and Faro, Portugal in 2015.

“Coming down from the rooftop this morning, after having my coffee, I noticed the most beautiful shadow. My rooftop was so clearly projected onto my neighbor's house. It was like a painted image. I realized these white-washed buildings seem more like canvases that the sun paints with light and shadows again and again throughout the day - ever-changing art.
With my time quickly winding down here, it was in that moment of seeing the building as a canvas that I started to realize how much this time has given me new eyes. This experience isn't what I expected, but how could it be? I was a different person when I made those expectations.  It has given me just what I need, the eyes and awareness to become the artist I am going to become. Life has such tender moments that always come from the unsure, anxious, rocky and sometimes isolating journeys we travel.” - journal entry from Portugal
