PAN/POT MAKERS
From indigenous origin, the work of the Paneleiras de Goiabeiras in Vitória, ES, is recognized as an immaterial patrimony by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (Iphan). The place maintains the tradition, that goes from mother to children and grandchildren, of the technique of transforming earth into pots, that dispenses the use of lathes and ovens, being modeled by hand, with the burning process being conducted in open air.
By the mosaic language, Vania Cáus created a monument, that was awarded in a notice from Prefeitura Municipal de Vitória, with resources from FUNCULTURA through the law Aldir Blanc, that pays homage focusing on the ancestral way of making pots and the protagonism of these women towards this activity.

LOVING IS LEARNED BY LOVING
The arts are a way of communicating with the world through images. The mosaic technique constitutes the way in which representations such as Iemanjá or the Holy Spirit emerge within a perspective that makes each work the result of a plastic conception in which the composition and dialogue between colors brings concepts of balance, peace and harmony that values the final result as an expression of a permanently renewing feeling of dialoguing with oneself, with society and with the universe.

THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD IS INSIDE A HUG
The image of a hug evokes feelings of care, love, and affection, creating an intimate and healthy connection between people. The work emphasizes that the act of hugging transcends any ethnic or cultural differences, offering comfort, strengthening friendships, and reinforcing family ties.

THE MACHINE OF THE WORLD
The starting point for this work is the poem "The Machine of the World," by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. The title itself alludes to the concept of some kind of technology that allows the world to function. In this sense, the work reflects on how the proposed composition views the world precisely as if it were a complex mechanism, which can be found in each individual's brain or in the cosmos as a whole.

Through art, especially the language of mosaics, I can better understand the world and give the answers it asks for.
