Not My Beach — Tee

Description

Não é a minha praia. “It’s not my beach.” Only a country with that much coastline would measure taste in beaches.

It is the most graceful refusal in any language: no judgement of the thing, no argument about it, no need to explain further. Somebody else’s beach, and they are welcome to it.

Tropical modernism — the Brazilian mid-century graphic language of flat shapes, warm sand tones and a horizon that does most of the composing. Melancholic rather than sunny.

For everyone who has left a party early and felt no guilt about it.
