I love creating multidisciplinary art. Growing up in Brazil with limited resources taught me to learn a little bit of everything: photography, theater, movement, sculpture, light, and storytelling. Today, all of those languages live together in my work. My favorite creations happen when fashion, fine art, spirituality, and human vulnerability come together in the same image or object.

I find inspiration in silence, human emotion, spirituality, and the feeling of belonging. Moving from Brazil to the U.S. made me understand art as a kind of boat, something capable of carrying us closer to each other’s inner worlds. I’m inspired by people, memory, migration, the body, and the emotional experiences we often struggle to express with words.

With $25,000, I would begin building my own multidisciplinary art studio, a space where photography, movement, sculpture, and storytelling can exist together naturally. As a Brazilian artist living in the U.S., I understand how transformative creative spaces can be. Art became a way for me to connect with people, identity, and belonging. I want to create a space where others feel safe exploring emotion, self expression, and their own creative voice, a place where they can build their own “boats”
