MAR VERDE

is a body of works inspired by Atlantic Forest; a green sea of plants. The Atlantic Forest is the most devastated forest in Brazil where buildings and tall trees stand side by side.

Today the ATLANTIC FOREST in Brazil is the most devastated in my country. It has become urbanized to such a degree that it has almost become non-existent. It represents only 20% of its original coverage. It remains only 1% of the Atlantic Forest's area in my birthplace, CURITIBA, which has 3M inhabitants and it's considered as the "brazilian ecological capital". Despite this reality of visible destruction, the Forest invisibly self-generates giving rise to new plants every day! Hopian !

I invite you to take a walk together inside this urban canopy.
