    By delving into intimate experiences and emotions, this project challenges societal norms imposed on the body, particularly regarding love, tenderness, anxiety, and pain. It delves into the mind-body connection, revealing resistance against societal expectations and explores how individuals navigate and confront these pressures in deeply personal ways.

2022

  • Commissioned poem to accompany Manolis D. Lemos's solo exhibition at Forum Institution, Braga. This writing piece is a love letter to Earth, subtly looking into resistance through stillness - a prompt reflection on resilience amidst life's rapid pace. Directed towards the earth, this love letter emphasises interconnectedness and the essential need for environmental care. However, its open-ended nature invites personal interpretation. In essence, it advocates for a quiet resistance—a poignant reminder of the power in reverence and the enduring strength found in embracing stillness amidst movement.
