EXPOSED MATERIAL: FRUIT-MUSE: Fruto Musa

Abstract

Exposed material: fruit-musa (2025) are self-portraits in which I seek to immerse myself in the lush vegetation of tropical nature. I engage with the plants and landscape of the cerrado and the fields of Brasília as aesthetic inspiration and material — photographing their scenery, their elements, their parts. Thus, I imprint these images of what the earth engenders in photographs. In an aesthetic in which my body is exposed as a central element, it is possible to feel my skin wet with water and sweat: with my dilated pores; the color burned by the action of the sun, which also saturates the colors of the muse fruit I hold in my mouth — an element of ornamentation, but which is also food and form, material and word.
