dear human,
I am devoted to the art of time traveling.
But in a very particular way. Murals become portals with projection mapping, hand-built ceramics turn into AI-powered characters,
let me share my story with you.

How can we train our imagination to reach other dimensions?
Every generation rewrites history in order to understand itself. With AI arriving and our environments collapsing, the past I need to question is much older than the human one. And it turns out our brains were never the center of intelligence.
Here I share what I am working on, and how the thinking came to be.

The research ⇢Many bodies of work
Grouped by what they are made of and what they are for. They overlap, and each one fed the next.

Public art & community
From favela walls in Rio to an off-grid community in the California desert. Art as living ecosystem.

Everything is made out of patterns. Tales of world history, art & science intertwined.
- 03 · 2020–present
From ceramics to AI-powered worlds
A species descended from all of Earth’s life, keeping our memory in the Imaginarium. Films, installations and exhibitions built from physical objects that become avatars.
