Since I started working with glass I have been interested in the duality

between its fragility and resistance. Throughout my career I worked with

Chinese ink, primarily because of the absence of color. This same feature

fascinated me from glass. Being able to purify the shape, expression and

movement are some of the best qualities of glass, enabling me to create

my paintings in a three-dimensional world.

One of the most important characteristics of my glass sculptures is their

fragility. My work is made to exist and not to resist, becoming a

reflection of one's reality and existence. The work then becomes distant

from the audience, almost like the distance we experience with our own

fragility.

This body of work consist of eight cubic modules, made with glass and

mirror. Each module is 30 x 30 cm and can be placed in many different

positions. The wooden box is part of the piece. This work was first

showed in the solo exhibition "O Tempo em que a Hora Mudou". It

questions the image within photography, the motion within video, and

the form of objects. It also explores other issues such as: reality and its

perception, as well as space and time. 

It is a piece that mutates, first conceived in order to be shown in variable

dimensions and formats.
