This work derives from the Achadouro installation, created from a collection of objects and fragments of the domestic universe. The work re-signifies these materials, collected, acquired or donated, creating new narratives and attributing new meanings to these elements that, in their bodies spent over time, carry stories and memories. Using the mosaic technique, the artist composes a patchwork of tiles, shells, stones, ceramics and other materials, configuring a fictional archeology of home and everyday life.
