I will mean something to you
Mina de São Domingos
In this mural, painted directly onto the fragile surface of a ruined structure, the face emerges as if part of the architecture itself; cracked, weathered, and inseparable from the landscape. I was drawn to the tension between permanence and erosion, allowing the existing textures, fractures, and history of the wall to become part of the composition.
The figure appears contemplative and grounded, almost fossilized within the ruin, reflecting my ongoing interest in memory, presence, and the poetic life of abandoned spaces. Rather than imposing an image onto the wall, I responded to it, letting the decay guide the form and tone. The result is a quiet dialogue between body and place, where softness meets raw materiality, and the human gaze reclaims a forgotten structure with intimacy and care.
