Saudade in the Studio

In the fading light of Rio, memory becomes a race against the setting sun.

Every rotation of the wheel is a heartbeat for a love long lost.

Sometimes the material breaks, but the spirit refuses to yield to the silence.

She carves his favorite flowers into the earth, capturing a ghost in the clay.

The storm outside mirrors the turmoil within, threatening to melt her final confession.

By candlelight, she finishes the letter she could never bring herself to send.

A table for two, a vase filled with hope, and the presence

of absence. Saudade: the love that remains when the person is gone.
