Beams of Light

Beams is a celebration of light in some key physical and metaphysical forms - from non-human animals in Paw Prints to plants in Cypress, from childhood in Acalantando to liberty in Encaminho and contemplation in Viewscapes, from the urban in Sparks of Motion to the rural in Então, as well as the celestial in Beams and Stardial.
