I create elements and processes aiming at contributing to human development in harmony with other species and the planet. My work consists in making experimental models to test possible functional, aesthetic and theoretical scenarios. Each new project has its own visual and conceptual language. //
Eu crio elementos e processos para contribuir com o desenvolvimento humano em harmonia com outras espécies e o planeta. Meu trabalho consiste em elaborar modelos experimentais, estéticos e teóricos. Cada projeto tem sua própria linguagem visual e conceitual.
