I Can See You Happy

I Can See You Happy, the debut book by artist Wendy Andrade, presents a poetic exploration of the relationship between young Black people and the sea, approaching it as a symbol of freedom, ancestry, and resistance. The images depict choreographed jumps and playful moments on improvised platforms in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador. The work is accompanied by texts by curators Ana Vitorio and Eder Chiodetto, who connect these actions to philosophical and cultural reflections, celebrating the sea as a space of transformation and creative expression.
