The panels unfold as drawn constellations and adopt the visual language of pontos riscados (drawings rooted in afro-Brazilian religious practices). Setting out from the Brazilian origins of YMo 09, these become more than symbols: they are gestures of memory, bearers of ancestral knowledge and traces of spiritual communication.
The work is in dialogue with a multicultural present as it moves between worlds – where faith meets lived reality and tradition is altered by encounters. Inspired by the legacy of Rubem Valentim, the compositions seek out a visual grammar that structures but at the same time is open, sacral and contemporary.
Lines, symbols and forms go beyond representation: They activate. They connect. They call forth. Each panel becomes a threshold where different cosmologies meet each other, and opens a space where identity, rather than being defined, undergoes constant negotiation – between past and present, ritual and abstraction, the individual and the collective.
