Alexandra Masson

Exhibited in Portugal, Germany, London, Wales, Brazil, USA (New York, Long Island, Brooklyn, Houston, Florida and Los Angeles) and Venezuela... I am interested in transforming what could be called disposable material or garbage, to endow it with a new sense of beauty. Taking photos that are out of focus as the basis to bring out their unsuspected beauty.
