Criticism
There are universes so remote from our daily life that, once seen, strike us so compellingly that we have no choice but to yield to their beauty, perfection, and purity. Paola’s photographs, which I’m not ashamed to say I’m madly in love with, possess the discreet power of that which is inevitable as well as the quiet violence of subtlety. They say, “I am in the here and the now, in the purity of the moment.” East, Japan of the mind
