coisas do mar // things of the sea
handmade seaweed paper, seashells, stones, jellyfish (velella velella), thread
variable dimensions, pieces between 0,5x2x1cm and 8x18x12cm
2019/2020
I collected things from the sea and turned them into mini-characters, living together in an ambient that I imagined. I left some of the elements in their natural form, and some of them I manipulated, for example, to make my seaweed paper. These pieces try to relate to the feeling of being close to something, to really look into it - the same feeling I get when I approach the beach rocks and notice that it's full of life, color, and movement.
