Steel, aluminum, iron, asbestos roofing screw and metallic particles generated during steel machining processes
168 × 130 × 130 cm
Mar 2026
Suspended from a central axis, this sculpture rotates slowly in space, activating time through motion rather than representation. Exposed weld seams mark the points where the metal fused under heat, revealing the structure’s construction rather than concealing it.
The plumb — traditionally a tool of vertical certainty — becomes unstable here, oscillating between gravity and propulsion. Rather than fixing direction, the work sustains a subtle spiral of shifting temporalities.
Strongly inspired by the concept of "spiral time" proposed by Leda Maria Martins in her book Performances do tempo espiralar, poéticas do corpo-tela [Spiral Time Performances, Canvas-Body Poetics] (2021), this work was installed in Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais, in the favela where I grew up, the piece occupies the space behind the house where I spent much of my childhood exploring and inventing through imagination. In this context, the work connects mechanical movement with memory and place, transforming a familiar ground of childhood experimentation into a site where gravity, play, and speculation converge.
Steel, aluminum, asbestos roofing screw, and resin

This work is inspired by passages from Isaac Asimov’s book “The Universe” and by the cracks in the asbestos tiles of the shack where I grew up, reaching toward the sky. It evokes stellar explosions and fragments of dreams made material — forms that tension lightness and density, suggesting encounters between the real and the imagined, between a scientific sky and a fabulated one. Its cartographies point toward possible paths of access to memories in constant transformation.

Inspired by the poetry of Olga Savary and the writings of Leda Maria Martins, “My chest-island risks a kiss across two million years” is a sculpture that narrates the story of two suspended islands — between sky and dream, between past and future — that remain anchored to their own axes, attempting to touch for millions of years like celestial bodies in orbit, moving constantly, yet never coinciding.
Steel, aluminum, resin, and hand-blown glass
168 × 54 × 74.5 cm
2024
This work stems from the remembrance of my childhood home, which returns in my memory as a suspended space — between ground and air. In that shack, gourds were everywhere: vessels and pockets of time. In Berlin — a city marked by destruction and rebuilding — I understood glass as preservation. From this realization, I transformed the gourd into glass, making visible what was once an opaque shelter and creating a reservoir capable of holding and protecting. In this act of transmuting matter, I seek to give body to memory: the glass invites the gaze yet also refuses it, guarding what is intimate and inaccessible. In its orange reflections, I move within the poetry of time, resilient as the steel of my father’s truck.

“Propulsive Plumb” is part of a group of sculptures that integrate my investigation into the fictionalization of time through sky and dream, strongly inspired by the concept of "spiral time" proposed by Leda Maria Martins in her book Performances do tempo espiralar, poéticas do corpo-tela [Spiral Time Performances, Canvas-Body Poetics] (2021). It works as a spiraling cartography of celestial, dreamt and imagined spaces, acting like a poetic compass that points toward multiple pathways through its metallic cartographies.

This work evokes stellar explosions and dream fragments made material, combining elements present in the asbestos-tile fastening system and in the spatial characteristics of the environment. Its forms tension lightness and density, bringing together the real and the imagined — between a scientific sky and a fabulated one — inviting the viewer to dive across different temporal lines, guided by its cartographies.
Steel, aluminum, pendulum in Lead, and asbestos roofing screw
81 × 38 × 16 cm
2025
Inspired by a passage in Issac Asimov's book O universo [The universe] (1972) titled “Agonizing Stars,” this sculpture transforms itself into thorns in the presence of lead. The density of the metal and its uncertain cartographies introduce a sensation of controlled danger — as if the dream condensed into threatening matter.

Structural Stiffness is a video performance that investigates the body in relation to the invisible pressures of social and economic structures. Through a repetitive action of stepping up and down onto a brick, the body alternates between tension and apparent release, revealing a continuous cycle of effort, weight, and exhaustion.
The work articulates questions around time, inequality, and artistic production, confronting the idea that all bodies begin from the same conditions. Between physical gesture and fragmented language, doubts emerge around faith, permanence, and belonging, pushing the limits between body and matter.
Performed in Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais, in the favela where I grew up.
Steel, aluminum and sound
27 × 12.5 × 12.5 cm
2025
This work echoes the song of the Sofreu, a bird that builds its nest among thorns and accompanied much of my childhood.
From its open cage — one that does not imprison — its melodic yet violent call fills the gallery at different intervals, inviting the audience to search for its source and listen between the time of memory and the present. This affective echo reverberates as living memory — a fiction of time embodied through sound.
