Lot Essay

This piece belong to the series of Bichos, who's name is related with the organic character of the works. Bichos move following their own internal timing and structure, as mollusks do. The almost endless arrangements of the sides make them active, alive. Between the observer and the Bicho there is an interaction and in this relation there is no passiveness. It is a connection between two beings: the first from the person, the second from the Bicho, this dialogue is possible because of the Bicho's own life.
