1988, Santos, Brazil
My work explores the relationship between architecture and the body, as well as the material presence of everyday objects, urban infrastructure and displacement. My practice spans sound, sculpture, video, drawing, printmaking and installation.
Through close observation of my surroundings, I reflect on how specific spaces shape emotional and psychological states. Walking, collecting and drawing become ways of mapping the subtle tensions between bodies, materials and the built environment. These encounters form a shifting sentimental cartography, continually redefined through lived experience. My work becomes a form of translation, responding to the ways spatial encounters shape identity and influence the perception of public space.
