Brazilian artist Flávia Junquiera crafts poetic photographs that beautifully blend monumental architecture with the fleeting nature of childhood. Her meticulously staged, site-specific compositions are both whimsical and evocative. Picture grand theaters adorned with balloons, a solitary carousel horse amidst an ornate library, and bubbles drifting over Rio de Janeiro’s Parque Lage. Infused with innocence and joy, Junquiera creates a fantastical universe that resonates with childhood memories. Each photograph not only captures an installation but also celebrates the lightness and brightness of the unexpected.
