As imagens raramente se fixam ao motivo que as gerou. Nascem em um contexto, obedecem a uma lógica, mas ao se deslocarem carregam consigo a possibilidade de outras leituras. O acaso não é apenas o imprevisto de uma forma capturada, mas também esse trânsito que desfaz a ordem inicial e rearranja os sentidos.

Em Traços de Música, Fátima Pombo parece tocar essa mesma corda sensível ao pensar a música como presença que nasce da abstração, como se fosse possível dar corpo ao invisível e ao indizível.

Not every image is born the same. Some arrive as duplications, calculated replicas of something already seen, already known. Others, however, seem to come from within. They do not copy; they emanate. The difference between one and the other lies not only in the technique, the medium, or the origin. It is, above all, in the relationship established with the viewer. A copy repeats; an emanation spreads. The first serves recognition; the second, presence. We may not always know

It is not the human that fails — it is the world that refuses to listen to its hesitation. Acceleration does not sweep us away because we are slow, but because we have broken rhythm with time. We have traded creation for efficiency, wonder for performance.

And perhaps it is necessary to relearn how to see, how to move within the flux, how to listen to what never asked to be spoken, and thus recognize what, being so free, almost goes unnoticed.

What do we see when we look at the same image twice? What happens when something repeats itself until it loses its meaning? And if redundancy, instead of being a mistake, is a choice? A noise that persists until it becomes music? If repetition is our condition, perhaps variation is our only freedom.

What emerges from an absence? When art addresses emptiness, it flirts with the notion of Nothingness, which is something that challenges our understanding of the visual and existential world. Beyond a simple lack, this gap presents itself as a powerful presence that questions our expectations and preconceptions . In this seemingly devoid space, we confront our depths and the invisible structures that shape our lives.

Art, in its multiple forms, embraces these questions, reflecting and refracting the intricate fabric of life. Through photography, painting and writing, artists have highlighted truths that, although often shrouded in silence , resonate deeply with our condition as finite beings. Photography, in its essence, is capture and revelation — not just what you see, but what you feel, a constant search for what hides between the lines of reality. It is in this search that we find ima
