Pearl
Pearl is a project and book about the island of Madeira, also known by the moniker “The Pearl of the Atlantic”. A highly touristic place known for its natural settings and unique Laurisilva forest. I was intrigued by this phenomenon of transformation, through which a living being produces a non-living hard object, that turns out to be a very rare and valuable object, referenced as an example of beauty. So, how subjective can beauty get when a bizarre defensive measure turns out models of beauty? This book is about this relation between the subjective senses of beauty and ugliness and how the line between both senses is so thin and insignificant, working on this specific place, the Pearl of the Atlantic.
