Crescent 2016 Is the title of a land art project in Lagoa do Paraíso (Paradise Lagoon) in the northeast of Brazil. Originally intended as the means to observe how the variety of soil moved to create drawings in the sand as the water levels diminished during the dry season. A semicircular shaped trench, where both ends connected to the lagoon forcing the water to move in different directions depending on the wind, lifting the white clay and fine black sand from the canal’s bed. The twelve meter crescent shape dried and disappeared with the strong winds in fifteen days. These are some of the documentation photographs of this project.
