Torrão opens another window of time. The doll installation in Pátio Azul will let go of Spring and welcome Summer. Born 2005 in Pátio Azul in Paula Estorninho’s House — the origin of the project’s name — the delicate figures, as small as a palm, are intemporal, looking expectantly to the future. Establishing affectionate relationships, they weave subtle threads between those they love.

In the freshness
I lay
Like on a shore
| Matsuo Bashô

Is it or not
The dream I forgot
Before dawn?
| Jorge Luis Borges
