The photograph was taken in Alter do Chão, in the Brazilian Amazon. “Na hora do sol raiá” is a phrase that means “when the sun rises”, pronounced with the distinctive accent of rural Brazil. The image explores intimacy through the contrast between the body and the shadows that surround it. The skin emerges through the translucent veil, evoking a sense of vulnerability, closeness and quiet sensuality.
