Bebidas e Lanches captures the essence of hot Portuguese afternoons, reflecting on the connection and joy that come from sharing drinks and snacks with others. Adrienna transforms her photographs and souvenirs by recreating them in intricate embroidery. Through her use of vivid coloured threads and different punch-needle techniques, the scenes evoke a dreamlike nostalgia that preserve her snapshots in textile form. “There is such a rich culture surrounding food in Portugal that I discovered while travelling. This became a jumping off point for the work. Colour really defines my memories and plays a pivotal role in narrating the stories within each piece.” -Adrienna
