The Light Is Big
Ana Pessoa & Joana Estrela
At first we babble. Then we repeat syllables. Then words – to interact and also because we have desires.
But suddenly something truly magical happens: we put different words together and make a new construction. We’re no longer imitating nor repeating. We are saying something about what’s around us.
These are our first sentences, precious and unrepeatable.
What do they say about us? And more importantly: what do they say about the world?
Welcome to this book, filled with sentences that someone said for the very first time.
