This work originates from a vintage photograph by Cas Oorthuys: two girls dancing in the streets of Palma de Mallorca, carried by the freedom and pulse of the ball de bot.

I was drawn to the raw, contagious energy of that moment, and I’ve reimagined it through bold color, a fractured composition, and an expressive use of light and gesture—turning documentary memory into a living, contemporary image.

The second scene—a family beside a green SEAT 600—adds a quieter, intimate note, like a personal postcard that completes the story.
Balanced between what was lived and what is remembered, the two images merge into a layered, emotional portrait of Mallorca—made to resonate both as a place and as a feeling.
