"Not very talkative, she prefers to write. Light being her pen,

It is through photographs that she expresses her sense of beauty.

The fullness of his silent message charms and compels

our attention because it notices what escapes us.

For us, she captures it, draws it, or reveals it.

with only light as a partner!

She knows how to take a step back, to study the nuances.

to give substance to traces of past existences,

of the present and the future and to convey to us the emotions of their vibrations.

There are beings who seem to come from elsewhere; Yolanda Leite, for one, seems...

Moreover, coming from far away... from very far away indeed... like Eleanor, the heroine

in “The Five Senses" by Joseph Delteil:

With what easy humility she bows completely,

From the front lines to the tips of our toes, facing the initial forces!

And what a spectacle of supreme wisdom this naive woman represents!

This sovereign attitude!
