EXÍLIO TRAVESSIA (EXILE CROSSING)
The work focuses on exploring the challenge of the crossings we undertake. Crossing is a process: it's not about being at point A or point B, but rather in a limbo full of unexpected events and coincidences, which ultimately exiles us. The work consists of 11 cards, each cut and folded in various ways, creating a connection between two or more spaces, but interspersed with barriers and voids. For this is what crossing is like: nebulous, imprecise, full of barriers and uncertainties.
