CURAÇAO 001

2025

At the heart of the work lies a legend of the Tikuna people, who live along the Amazon River. According to the tale, in every person’s heart lives a bird. When a person speaks the truth, the bird sings. When they lie, the bird falls silent. When they lose connection with themselves and with nature, the bird dies.

This heart-bird is not just a metaphor, but a living compass for the peoples of the Amazon—a reminder of the fragility of the inner world and its inseparable bond with the forest. CORAÇÃO 001 is a call to return to primal honesty, to the inner resonance that cannot be imitated.

The Amazon jungle is both a natural expanse and an archive of worlds. Beneath its dense canopy intertwine the voices of ancestors and the hum of drones, the traces of vanished civilizations and the algorithms of satellites. It is the pulsing body of the Earth, holding ancient fears and future revelations. CURAÇÃO 001 becomes a bridge between these worlds—a heart hidden in the jungle that still beats, despite deforestation, the noise of cities, and oblivion.
