Maresia (scent of the sea or sea mist, in Portuguese) is a composition inspired by the sea in two different ways. Firstly, by the pleasant experience of being immersed and surrounded by water. Secondly, by the movement of the waves and the energy they release when they break — which cause the continuum of water to assume ephemeral, yet remarkable, shapes.
