Energy.
Arraiolos Panel
(88x100 cm)
The artwork depicts a middle-aged woman with
signs of aging and scars from the past. The tapestry
captures her energy and the labyrinth she navigates
daily. In this print, she is merely depicted. The colors
mitigate the depressive state she is experiencing.
Etching and linography
(69x99 cm)
There is a flower that the woman consistently draws,
which evokes her childhood, joy, and innocence. The
flower featured in this segment of the piece is that very
same flower she has drawn.

acrylic glass, distance of 3 cm gap between the print
and the drawing

This ceramic concludes the piece. It features flowers that
are nearly dry but not entirely. Similarly, childhood, innocence,
and joy have not yet concluded for this woman; they are not
entirely 'dry.'
