Belonging to Memento series and to my collection, this animal's body is a recurring figure in my work, appearing across different images and objects as a persistent presence. Often associated with decay, death and what is discarded, it also carries a sense of survival, adaptation and persistence.

In nos bons lugares há sempre vento, this recurring figure appears dead, yet strangely alive within the reflection of the sky. The mirror displaces the animal from the earthly space it inhabits, while changing light continuously transforms its presence. It becomes suspended between states: body and image, death and persistence, disappearance and transcendence. The wind eventually carries it out of the frame, transforming the image of death into a movement towards elsewhere.

The work continues an ongoing encounter with the rat as a figure through which I approach death not as an end, but as a transformation into something.
