Cássio Vasconcellos' work is a love poem to nature; it is an affirmation where the clash with reality gives an impression of great romanticism and purity that is about to emerge, alongside a wild truth, where everything is revealed in the future of the world. In an era of catastrophes, where there is a widespread sense that the world is on the edge of a precipice, Vasconcellos navigates through the vertigo of time, daring to create a work for eternity, a task that seems to belong to the realm of the stars. Photography has the power to take us, even in the light of an impassable distance, to the indeterminate realm of fascination, where logical measures of space and time do not exist.

Few artists have shaped the scope of contemporary art and influenced photography in Brazil like Cássio Vasconcellos. His works propose a new type of subjectivity associated with a disruptive imaginary about the role of photography, a medium necessary for the urgency of time. The artist constantly lives on the edge of the abyss and in vertigo, both due to the angles he chooses and the experimental hybridity that endows his work with such relevance. Being on the brink of risk is the point of excellence in art, as it indicates the danger and the gap that marks the intrusion of misfortune into perfect beauty.

The photographer takes us to a place of dreams and fantasy, making us question the existence of a lost paradise, a planet in perfect harmony. The forest, as part of nature, represents to some extent the call for human beings to return to collective values and distance themselves from the consumer-driven machine of society, allowing a moment of self-reflection and contemplating our place in the world. It also incorporates the grandeur of nature and the cosmos as a means to seek answers to the questions about human fragility.
