ON THE SHORES OF THE COSMIC OCEAN
The image evokes a world of imagination where a tree, a traditional symbol of life, has a planet and stars hanging from its branches. There are also two characters in distinct body positions. One observes what is ahead through a kind of telescope in an improvised tube, while the other assumes a more heroic position, chest open, wearing clothing reminiscent of a cape, arm raised with index finger pointing upwards, ready to unveil worlds. Both are in boxes that suggest the universe of reusing materials to create their own fantasy world.

THE FOUR SISTERS' CHALET - OLINDA/PE
The rigid, textured Tetra Pak packaging, with its aluminum creases, welcomes the hand-engraved artwork like a draft from a mind processing the world in a non-linear way. The engraving of the three-window house, therefore, subverts traditional technique, relating to the permanent drafting of existence and the experience of dyslexia. The cut marks and silver grooves of the packaging create deep furrows, transforming apparent flaws and deviations into texture and aesthetic power. Thus, the ink slides along the engraved lines without adhering to fixed margins, recording on paper the speed and physical and intellectual force of the artistic process. The printed work reveals that, beneath the industrial folds, lies a poetic dwelling, showing that disrupting the gaze and structures is the key to finding new horizons.

Dyslexia has been a part of every process I've faced in life, and this art form is no different. It influences how I think, create, and perceive the creative world. Instead of following a rigid script, I build freely, allowing myself to make mistakes, experiment, and play, just like the children in the scene I've created.
