"the End of the World",

stretches a land that has grown within me for nine months.

In Universo, the visible and invisible intertwine in a dance of primordial elements—earth, water, light, song—that find poetic geography within photographic surfaces,

colored threads, and the transparencies of glass. A sense of wonder emerges, as though one could touch the heartbeat of the cosmos hidden within the dust of a childhood garden and the glow of a yet-to-be-named constellation.

It is a circular journey that begins in the shadow of what once was and ascends toward the stars,

stitching together traces of the past and generating new horizons of meaning. A pursuit of returning both matter—and ourselves—to the form of an intimate and universal song.
