Sopra Um Modo de Morrer is influenced by Maria Gabriela Llansol’s book “Amigo e Amiga”. This book is a diary of grief; it explains a sense of emptiness. For that reason, I consider these two drawings a pulmonary memorium card. They are the right and the left lung of someone who doesn’t breathe anymore. On top of the drawings, glass windows protect them as reliquaries. Inspired by the breathing and the atmosphere these lungs have shared, the drawings are placed as suspended by helium balloons, as they have the air capacity of flying.
The work was presented in the solo exhibition “Sopra Um Modo de Morrer” at Espaco Llansol, in Lisbon, PT.
