In big cities, tall buildings obstruct our view and do not allow us to see the sky. I lived until 2018 in São Paulo. In 2013, the alternative I found to combat the anguish and oppression caused by the lack of horizons was to look for pieces of sky not yet covered by the constructions, between the cracks in the buildings, and photograph them. The photographs were cut out by extracting the buildings. When I arrived in NY, the way to connect with the city was also to look for the sky on its horizon. The cutouts were used for printing cyanotypes.
