Maria Oliveira: What I wish for the future
The submerged worlds and their mysteries, the sky populated by black holes beyond the calculations of quantum physics, the intricate communication of trees, the organized system of roots and the pathways of their sap. The unfathomable ocean rifts. The abysses of deserts.
We must not forget.
There’s a lot to say in a hug or when we guide an animal to a safety place.
We are minimal. Mutable, but eternal.
We must not forget.
It’s wonderful to share the space where everything breathes.

Maria Oliveira+-
Born and raised in Ponte de Lima, Oliveira currently lives in Porto, Portugal.
Through photography she has been working on umbilical places, both physical and mental. She’s interested in their mutation, the close relationship between humans and the rest of nature, which includes people, animals, the cycles of the seasons and how everything communicates, is related and exists together. From a poetic and symbolic perspective, her work moves between the visible and the hidden: reality, memory, and imagination. More
