"On Sunday, September 2, 2018, a devastating fire broke out in the National Museum of Rio. The day after the fire, the whole world was shocked to discover the terrible images of the disaster: almost all the collections went up in smoke that night. This event coincided with my arrival at the National Superior School of Decorative Arts where I met Isabella Aurora, a student from the University of Rio who is participating in an exchange with France. Our collaboration around the questions raised by the destruction of the museum and its precious collections becomes obvious: a series of plastic experiments begins. Together we try to give back an imaginary body to what was destroyed. Thus, by assembling natural and chemical elements, we attempt to find a balance between form and matter, between memory and imagination, in order to metaphorically recreate what has disappeared."
