HANDS | 2019

I wanted to create small sculptures that would allude to certain body organs about which we know little. To this end, I resorted to a set of paraffin hands — cast almost 20 years ago by transforming them with the heat of my body and the pressure of the thousands of meters of thread that I used to swathe them.

• paraffin and blended sewing thread 
• 28 sculptures of variable dimensions 
• EXHIBITIONS: 'What we don’t have the nerve to throw away’, Galeria Inox, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
