EN: The theme of this project is "Coral Reefs". I have always had a great fascination for the sea, which I had constant contact with in my childhood. This taste was associated with an interest in the unknown that inhabits it and what we already know about the sea. The aim of my work is to focus on a specific animal, the Coral, known for its strong colors and complex shapes. It is well known that coral is an endangered species, as an entire reef can die in less than two months, and its destruction is an anatomically curious process. In this way, I decided to record details, colors and processes of the reefs or a coral throughout my work, in a figurative, repetitive and standardized record with the aim of alerting to the effect that climate change has and may, worse, have on these animals of flowers.This work, in addition to being carried out with great taste, almost had a therapeutic purpose, due to the precision and concentration in the drawing of the long line and curve, making it a more relaxing and peaceful moment.
PT: O tema deste projeto é o "Recifes de Coral". Sempre tive um grande fascínio pelo mar, com o qual tive um contacto constante na minha infância. Com este gosto, associou-se o interesse pelo desconhecido que nele habita e o que já conhecemos do mar. O objetivo do meu trabalho é focar-me num animal específico, o Coral, conhecido pelas suas cores fortes e formas complexas. É sabido que o coral é uma espécie em perigo, uma vez que um recife inteiro pode morrer em menos de dois meses, sendo a sua destruição um processo anatomicamente curioso. Desse modo, decidi registar pormenores, cores e processos dos Recifes ou de um coral durante todo o meu trabalho, num registo figurativo, repetitivo e padronizado com o objetivo de alertar para o efeito que as alterações climáticas têm e poderão, agravadamente, ter nestes animais de flores.
Este trabalho, para além de ter sido realizado com um enorme gosto, quase que teve um fim terapêutico, pela precisão e concentração no desenhar da linha e curva demorados, tornando-se num momento mais relaxante e sossegado.
