Memória is a new media performance and installation shaped by grief for lives recently lost. Drawing on the artist’s relationship to Onilé within the Afro-Brazilian religious tradition of Candomblé, the work approaches ritual with reverence, offering a contemporary reflection on the passage between life and death. Through an offering of soil, the artist seeks permission to address the ancestral realm and asks for strength and guidance from Onilé and the ancestors.

In the gallery, a small room becomes a shrine through two-channel projections and a carefully composed soundscape. The installation translates the intimacy of ritual into a space for contemplation, while digital media carries memory across boundaries of time and place. Beginning with the artist’s personal act of mourning through performance, the work opens toward a shared encounter. Visitors are invited to pause, remember, and hold space for loss together. Memória honors those who have passed while affirming the enduring presence of land, ancestry, and community.
