A city clutches the air as if to wring peace from chaos, the tense hum of life palpably present. Feel the pulse, a quickened heartbeat under bruised skies. Today, caution and resilience intertwine like dancers on a knife's edge.
✦ Artist's Note
"Sharp edges crash and collide in scarlet waves, capturing the discord that colors these Rio streets. Each jagged form, a fracture in the illusion of order, urges the viewer to confront what surrenders beneath the surface: the ceaseless interplay of violence and defiance, steadfast and raw."
The Vibe
"Rio trembles; shadows of violence linger. Echoes of gunfire stifle laughter. Leaders rally amidst chaos, seeking peace. Innocence braces, schools silenced. In favelas, stories unfold—both despair and hope live. Carnival dreams of a greater tomorrow's dance."
