Digital photography and digital media
Sometimes I work with media such as performance and photography. These works are records of small improvised, performances composed between myself and my surroundings and documented intimately by myself. Some images acquire a symbolic meaning, to do with my personal history. In Brazil we have a strong spiritualist tradition that comes out of our mixed cultural background and heritage, traditional cultures, African heritage. This informs the work that I make and my approach to mythical stories. My subject matter explores the way in which my own identity becomes mixed with the mythical narratives and iconic figures of my past.
