Inspired by the Brazilian folklore figure Curupira, this series highlights the tension between humanity and nature. The children in the paintings embody Curupira, a forest protector, symbolizing the union of human and natural worlds. Addressing contemporary environmental challenges, the works critique societal norms and call for action against ecological harm.
