About 


Materialidade carrega o meu processo e me permite entender as dimensões da memória. Sua movimentação através do tempo e espaço, coexistindo entre populações e cultura. Uma ponte crescente. 

"O que são materiais históricos? Como o manipulamos e o que eles nos falam

Eu uso alimentos e outros materias orgânicos para traduzir minhas conversas com História e Memória. 


O Tempo é essencial. Não há o agora e não há barreiras. 

Vou mergulhar em tudo de uma vez, multi-direcionalmente. 

...

Materiality drives my process, and lets me understand the dimensions of memory. Its motion across time and space, coexisting among different people and cultures. An ever growing bridge. 

"What are historical materials? How have we manipulated them and what do they tell us?"

I use food and other organic materials to translate my conversations with History and Memory.  

Time is of the essence. There is no now and there are no boundaries. 

I will dive multi-directionally into everything all at once.
