Portuguese for “waters of gold,” Águas de Ouro is a love letter to the beauty, glamour, and glory of Brazil in its most essential state: the people at one with the landscape. Finely attuned to the nuances of light, color, movement, and body language, Cattaneo Adorno uses photography to fuse the present and the past, capturing the bittersweet yearning that Brazilians call saudade — intense feelings of nostalgia and melancholy for a love long gone. Her timeless images of cariocas (natives of Rio) living their best lives on the glistening shores capture the joie de vivre that they maintain despite the hardships they endure. To evoke the luxurious splendor of Ipanema, Águas de Ouro is printed in six colors, including metallic gold and silver inks, creating the shimmering sensation of a day at the beach.
