At the confluence of myth and matter, "Apoena" reveals itself as a visual journey through the ancestral worldviews of the Americas. The work begins in the Highlands of Guatemala and expands to the indigenous territories
At the confluence of myth and matter, "Apoena" reveals itself as a visual journey through the ancestral worldviews of the Americas. The work begins in the Highlands of Guatemala and expands to the indigenous territories
of Brazil, interweaving symbols, beliefs, and memories that survive in the body of the earth and in the language of dreams. Mythical figures such as Gucumatz and the Jiboia snake Woman symbolize creation and its metamorphosis andexpress spiritual forces that still live on in the practices and resistance of indigenous peoples.
This work features real footage and audio captured by me on indigenous lands in the Amazon.

“Apoena (“Aquele que enxerga longe" ) é um chamado ao reencontro com os saberes originários. Ao reunir cosmologias Maia e indígenas brasileira, a obra ilustra um passado vivo e provoca vislumbres de um tempo espiralado, onde ver longe é também lembrar de onde viemos.”
