Description
There is movement in this Sardine. There is past, present and future. There is color, to the dance of life.
Sónia Travassos creates Sardine a gallop.
In an irregular beat of the heart, like a two-step dance, life is always a choice. Who has never lived in the future or wanted to run fast back into the past? Meanwhile, the present melts us. During that time, we can tread firmly on the ground, and this is called courage.
The sardines are made with high quality colors and decals, which allows them to have a very strong, intense and beautifull glow and color.
All the decorating process in each sardine is manual. The decoration is performed by decal process, which takes on average 10 minutes, producing only a few per day.
Each Bordallian sardine is wrapped in a original packaging to simulate a sheet of newspaper, in a throwback to the tradition of the sale of this fish in Lisbon, dating back to the XVIII century, between typical selling sayings, from the fishmongers.
