CHERUBS OF GROTA

There is a religious atmosphere amidst the unfocused stained glass of the churches. Pictures in black and white of the youngsters of the “Grota do Surucucu” community, members of the “Orquestra de Cordas da Grota” (Grota String Orchestra). Among parallel strings, interspersed worlds, tension, distension in the span, the gap that remains, slipping between the fingers, the razor’s edge sharpened to a deep, dry cut, away they go, like cherubs, spreading their wings to an endless flight, soaring over all that was denied them, captured now by their cherub souls.
Broken winged cherubs.
Enchanted winged cherubs.
Brazilian cherubs !!!
