ANA LUISA LOTAIF
Ana started studying Visual Arts but decided to transfer to Product Design two years later, feeling a lack of support from her professors regarding her dyslexia. In her new course, she began taking photos of her work in progress, which became a collection of photographic archives that are important to her. In November 2018, the artist created an Instagram account to post her virtual memories. The purpose of the profile was to keep memories in one place, so that Ana could remember trips or family moments.

SELECTIVE MEMORY
The gaze is a universe full of meanings. The visual creator, in her photographs, makes successive choices that value the everyday. In this way, what she selects gains new dimensions. Details are treated as memories to be revisited, like a poetic diary that leads the photographer and the observer to interact, discussing why those fragments of daily life gain new value when crystallized in the form of a subtle image.

ANA LUISA
I started studying Visual Arts, and after two years, I transferred to Product Design, since I wasn't receiving the same support from my professors regarding my dyslexia as I did at the beginning of the course. Although in the same Arts Faculty, in the Product Design course, besides having fewer texts to read, I had more hands-on work, and I got used to documenting the entire development of the projects in photos, which intensified my collection of an extensive photographic archive of what is important to me. I developed my own language in my photographic records, both of work and of trips, outings, etc., resulting from observing the work of other photographers, mainly online, but maintaining my personal taste, sometimes with subjects that other people overlook (traffic signs, reflections on various surfaces and puddles, etc.).
