This project delves into the emotional isolation and cultural resilience of indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest. Inspired by a past encounter in 2015, the series reflects the tribes’ complex relationship with the outside world—a mixture of fear, curiosity, and the instinct to protect a sacred way of life. As deforestation intensifies under governmental exploitation, their fragile ecosystem and identity face existential threats.

Replacing natural elements with surreal symbols, the parrot becomes a vivid voice of nature—bright, alert, and endangered—while elongated, sand-filled forms suspended like falling rain evoke the sensory experience of rainforest showers, echoing nature’s quiet grief. The absence of trees and stone is intentional: it reframes resilience and life through ephemeral, lightweight materials, questioning what remains when the forest is gone.
