This video records the action of walking in the Adolfo Ducke Forest Reserve, in Manaus, Amazonas. With a blank sheet of paper in my hands, I seek the light that enters through the trees in the early hours of the morning. From the variation and intensity of light, I try to discover this place we do not understand fully.

These rays of light are known as “sunflecks” and are fundamental to preserve the microclimate and the survival of botanical and animals species. In the Amazon Rainforest, due to its density, we hardly see the light coming in and consequently we do not perceive the nuances of shadows. 

The work reveals a composition of the full areas and empty areas in the immense forest where lights emerge from different parts and only exists in this context, over a period of time.
