GRÃO

The Grão collection was born from this observation and from the enchantment with processes of transformation and sublimation in nature — from the microscopic universe of the grain to the singular presence of a pearl. Elements such as ants, oysters, eggs, and hands emerged as symbolic objects in the exploration of these concepts.

If, on one hand, tiny ants are commonly seen as symbols of order and discipline in nature, I propose a provocation by suggesting that these creatures be perceived as restless forces of transformation. They obey an invisible order — metaphors for what lies deepest in the human mind: the restlessness of desire.

Each pearl is a unique sculpture, with its own characteristics, shape, and personality. The beauty and singular nature of this element have always fascinated me, especially when we understand its formation process.

The pearl is born from discomfort: a grain of sand or impurity enters the oyster, and in response, layers of nacre are deposited over it, creating something precious and unique. Metaphorically, this element becomes a symbol of sublimation — of our ability to transform adversity into something extraordinary. It also teaches us about respecting time, about the importance of observing each layer of a process with the calm pace that nature demands.

Evoking the psyche and honoring the female body in its irregular forms, the pearl has its hidden cradle in the waters of the world.
