Brígida Baltar was a Brazilian contemporary artist known for her multidisciplinary works exploring the themes of identity, memory, and time. A coleta da neblina #1, created in 2014, is a part of her series that captures the ephemeral beauty of fog. In this artwork, Baltar used a photo print on cotton paper to depict a hazy and dreamlike scene, where the mist takes on an almost tangible quality. The artwork invites the viewer to contemplate the intangible nature of fog and the fleeting moments of life.
