The photographs in Líquidas e Sólidas were taken over the course of 25 years. The first were captured with a Polaroid Image camera, which was quite popular in the 1990s. These photos are physically soft because that Polaroid ejected "liquid" images that required a few minutes to harden. In contrast, the more recent ones were taken with a new Fuji Instax, which produces firmer, less malleable photos.

Architectural and urban photography has existed for nearly 200 years. Since 1826, the impact, debate, and relevance surrounding the subject have only increased, as a truly relevant photograph, after all, raises more questions than it answers.
