About the book
Maré tells the story of a day in the life of a father and daughter who are preparing for a morning of surfing in the ocean. We follow the girl's anxiety when she wakes her father, the anticipation at the breakfast table, and the preparations of both as they meditate in the backyard – the father very focused, the girl very curious.
They finally reach the beach, but where is the ocean? It's gone! Where did it go?
With the subtlety of the elements of a picture book, the author develops a powerful work that presents a worrying environmental and social situation: the depredation of the environment.
In addition, we also see a sensitive relationship between father and daughter.
It is an aesthetic and sensorial experience, in which the reader is not only placed in front of a work of literature, but also of art and design.

About Fine Art Printing
These are those created with techniques and materials that use the most rigorous criteria today to achieve an impression with museum longevity.
The papers are 100% cotton. The inks, which are made of mineral pigments, are not soluble in water, therefore they do not fade. And the color fidelity, by using RGB, is much greater than common printing.
A work printed in fine art, therefore, deserves to be signed and numbered, and can last a lifetime.
