Hatches: Nap

the body screams, wanting rest, Flesh, tendon, muscle, All tensed.

Slowly lies down on the grass, Head resting on his backpack, Among the shady trees, Lines fall without direction.

The eyelid struggles Insistently against tiredness, The eyes close, The skin feels the freshness of the grass, No more reluctance.

Sleep, sleep, sleep, Where he wants to take me, Orpheus finally pulls Ana Into his world.

Nap is a woodcut print made in pau marfim, size a5 (14,8 x 21 cm). It was printed on Japanese paper. The entire collection of Hatches is being produced directly on the wood without any kind of study. The images are intended to illustrate small texts. The original text is in Portuguese and has been adapted to English.
