WRAP Nº2 2026

WRAP Nº2

Paper, cardboard, acrylic and linen rope. 28.5 x 22 cm. 2026

Freedom is not a static state, but a continuous practice of renewal. In "Embrulho Nº2" (Wrap No. 2), I use the artistic gesture to transform the rigidity of a symbol from the past. A book by the Portuguese dictator, enveloped in the fluidity of a painting from the series "Um Movimento" (One Movement).

This piece celebrates the 25th of April by breaking away from the clichés of commemorative discourse. It is an invitation to look at Portugal through a more progressive lens. Sophistication and the avant-garde are the ultimate ways to honor democracy. Less nostalgia, more movement.
