As minhas dores e os meus amores // My sufferings and my loves

Year 2022
Size 25.6 × 17.7 in

This piece deals with a body suspended in a crude way, hanged by steel wires, which allows a reading of small affections that help to heal large wounds. Through there, we can see the presence of stitched scars and light colors that remind us of a childhood world – colors that try to mask the brutality of its cuts. Between the seams are traces that appear to be coded words that hurt and also caress. Its suede texture gives it a tanned skin look - to heal - to touch. This body thus deals with the aspect of the caresses and affections that regenerate it, throughout its lengthy journey.
