BRUNA FRACASCIO
Bruna, from Indaiatuba, in the interior of São Paulo, had art present in her childhood as a way to cope with dyslexia and family issues.
It was only after setbacks in more traditional careers that she decided to study film and dedicate herself to her artistic side. Her work is fueled by curiosity and childhood memories.

SYNONYM OF DISMANTLING
One of the greatest challenges for human beings is working with their disconnections, complexities, and reflections, both in relation to themselves and the world. Bruna Fracascio discovered she was dyslexic at the age of 8, being seen as someone who didn't fit into preconceived models or who didn't excel in any activity. From then on, she began to draw and paint. Dyslexia and art became her companions, functioning like the sun and moon in a continuous process of self-improvement. Against a starry backdrop of possibilities and dreams, she built her trajectory, understanding creative potential as what keeps us alive, providing greater opportunities to connect with the difficulties the world presents, understanding them as potentialities.

INVISIBLE SPECIES
The digital art collection entitled "Invisible Species" constitutes a personal journey through Brazilian fauna and flora.
Initially, the chosen visual elements are hand-painted with the aid of photographic references. Then, they are digitized, allowing for subsequent manipulation with computer programs. The final result embodies these diverse characteristics, such as a dialogue with reality, the transformation of images, primarily through the use of color, and a cheerful and playful visual style that conveys a message of nature preservation.

REFRESHMENT
The diversity of materials brings magical elements to the collection of works. In this sense, the cubes emerge as a playful universe that can be assembled in various ways. The idea of stacking is precisely about play. Furthermore, ceramics incorporate the four elements into the creative process: clay (earth), moistened by water for modeling, and the fire of firing, which requires air for the process to occur. The image on canvas also incorporates elements of embroidery, through the use of the embroidery hoop. In this way, there is a valorization of manual skill and craftsmanship in the act of making.

Currently, my relationship with dyslexia is essential. I deal with it with great gratitude; I feel that without it, I wouldn't be who I am, it's part of me and I of it. I see it as a gift that allows me to imagine and create. Since I was little, my life has been very difficult; there has been a lot of pain, and I've had to deal with major problems. I didn't have a full and colorful childhood, I didn't have space to develop as an artist, nor did I have references for that. But one thing I had in abundance was imagination – I remember being in my father's mechanic shop and playing with the rubber parts that held the exhaust pipes. To me, each one had the shape of a different animal. The tools became trees, and the staple remover was an alligator. My imagination and my way of seeing the world saved me from many sad events. When the situation wasn't good, I imagined improbable scenarios.
