Join us at The Ladder Gallery at the New Providence Community Centre on Blake Road Thursday, February 11, 2016, from 6-8:30pm for "Blue And Beyond", Alessandro Sarno's first exhibition.

It was birthed from his coffee table book of the same name, "Blue and Beyond", a curated collection of moments he captured during his travels in the islands of The Bahamas.

"Blue And Beyond" aims to inspire locals to continue to appreciate the beauty of their own country and rouse visitors to this bountiful place to travel across the hundreds of islands and cays.

Alessandro's photographs try to take you beyond the sea and beachscapes, focusing instead on the scenes of everyday life. His work celebrates the freedom and simplicity of the islands.

He enjoys seeing how many Bahamians blend into the marvelous nature they are surrounded by, and he dreams of a deep sense of respect to be taught to children and beheld by adults.

Among others, Alessandro's favorite shots are "The Girl Who Dances With The Sea", captured on the western end of New Providence on the descending sun, which depicts how children after school enjoy the beach and actually feel a deep connection with the sea.
